Blitzed

Filed Under Philippine Comics | 9 Comments

Yep, this blog got blitzed. We still don’t know how it happened, but the database got pretty screwed, and we’ve had to rebuild the blog from a back up. Unfortunately, the latest backup was from July 16, and this means all posts since then, almost 10 posts (as I update almost everyday) are now lost. Well, ALMOST lost.

Thanks to Google’s cache, I can manage to bring back a couple of posts and I’ll be doing so shortly. I apologize for all the inconvenience as I know that many of you had posted comments that I’ll not be able to recover.

So there. I’ll start posting new entries next week.

    You can also try the WordPress Backup plugin (it can do daily backups of your database and send those to your email address, if you wish)

    there seems to be a problem with the wp back plugin and yahoo webhosting — at least with mailing the backup is concerned. the other features work though.

    I encountered that too. I hated it! My gf said I should backup everytime I post new entry. I’m pretty lazy doing those kinds of stuff…but she’s pretty obsessed about WP and kept telling me it’s better than manual HTML updating. Just to please her, I made my site in WP. I haven’t updated my script coz I know there are some features that need to work on.

    In Dreamweaver you can actually upload quickly while editing your page using keys (Ctrl+Shift+U).

    Anyway…ilan ang nawala mong entries?

    Ed, I was able to recover a few, specially the the ones that I liked including part 2 of the Lakan thing, and the post and all the comments to the earthquake thing. I could have retrieved a couple of other posts, but they were just bullshit posts so I left them off. All in all I think I lost around 5 entries.

    i’d go with ed’s gf. backup after each entry because you have long posts.

    Yep, that’s definitely what I intend to do. Mabilis naman e.

    KC mentioned a ghost in one of your pics. Perhaps he didn’t want to be ‘seen’ in your blog. >:)
