I've made a huge error!!! Please read ...

As most of you know, I've been fiddling around with my blog, trying to make improvements.  Well, this morning I accidentally removed all the comments and my replies!  I'm so sorry.  Please don't leave me!!
If anybody has a idea if they can be found, please let me know!

    1. When I first went to that website I was excited because it looked like it would work to retrieve the comments; but when I followed the instructions, it appeared that the information wasn't for blogspot.com but an older version or something. So, then I tried using blogspot.com, but found that, because I'd labeled the comments "spam" they're gone forever! Thanks for the suggestion; boy have I learned a lesson. There were over a thousand comments in my spam folder. I checked on several and they were indeed spam; so I just checked off ALL and away they all went!!!

  2. I hope Roger's link will help - that would be a shame to lose those. If you back up your blog, you'll have everything from here on. I'm going to do a back up tomorrow. I don't want to lose all my posts, either, and I try to remember to back it all up every six months or less. It's been a while - thanks for reminding me. Good luck! :)

    1. Yes, this is the next best thing. I have my Lacie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Disk and will back up the whole blog and hard drive. I'm sick about losing everybody's comments.

  3. We won't, your posts are the important content anyway!

  4. Thanks for your nice words. I'm upset with myself for brainless activity!

  5. I was able to view some of your comments by fiddling with the wayback machine. http://archive.org/web/

  6. Unless you did a backup, I don't think you can recover them. I would not worry about it, just go and sin no more. --Dave ps: read this for seeing how to do a full backup: https://support.google.com/blogger/search?hl=en&query=backup

  8. So, I have my Lacie external hard drive plugged in but it took almost all night just to scan it's contents. Now I have to figure out how to back up again. Of course there're no instructions; I think I'll go to the website.

  9. That's too bad MP but those things happen. Good luck recovering the comments. I saw all the deletions and thought something unexpected had happened. I'm not going anywhere.

  10. Take a deep breath. It will be okay and your posts are really the important part! As a distraction, there is an RV Museum (free I believe) in Amarillo. http://www.rvmuseum.net/ It should make for an interesting visit.

  11. I know about the RV Museum and am planning to go there and also the Pharmacy Museum tomorrow. Yes, I do need to take a deep breath; it's not the end of the world!
