Anyhow I was leaving a comment on a blog, when blogger suddenly asked me to re-enter my password. I thought that was odd. Suddenly it was telling me my account had been disabled. WTF?
I managed to get in with requesting a verification code, and my heart jumped into my throat! My blog... all my blogs were GONE! The only thing listed in my dashboard was the group blog I'm in and I didn't start that.
I checked my URL, I was told the blog was not there. WTF??? WTF??? This September would be my 9th blogiversary, that's 9 years of my stitching, my life, sharing with you GONE. I was panicked and upset!
I scrambled around Blogger trying to find an e-mail address to contact them or a form I could fill in, nothing existed. I was getting ready to post in their hope forum, brought up my blog URL again so I would have the exact message to add to my post.
Suddenly it was BACK!
If I had to, I would of fought to get my content back. Worst case scenario I would of started over, I wouldn't walk away from the blogging community, this wonderful community of stitching, crafting, etc. bloggers!
Thank you so much for being my readers and keeping me going!
I think I've pushed my online luck enough today I'm going to finally go stitch (at 2 in the afternoon!)
I saw that you had updated your blog so I came to take a peek and got the same message and also panicked! OMG where did Dani go!?!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad everything is back as I would really miss reading your blog! I don't always comment but I do always read.
Woah...that must have been a really scary time. So glad you found that everything was where it should be. Was it a blogger blip do you think?
ReplyDeleteI found your blog was missing and was going to email you. I checked a bit later and it was back - so glad all is good now.
ReplyDeleteClare
Glad you got your blog back Dani.
ReplyDeleteHoly scary!! I couldn't believe it when I read the text
ReplyDeleteGlad it came back though!
Thank goodness the panic is over, I love reading your blog even if I don't always get chance to comment.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh how scary, I am glad your blog hasn't disappeared, I may not comment on every post, but I do read them!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your missing blog turned up. I would be so disappointed not to be able to visit you here.
ReplyDeleteOh, that must have been the most dreadful feeling, Dani--I would have totally freaked out! After spending all those hours throughout all those years!! I'm so glad it reappeared!!
ReplyDeleteI always panic when something like that happens and then I don't want to click on anything in case it makes it worse. Glad you got your blog back.
ReplyDeleteOuch. That would panic most of us. Glad it came back safely
ReplyDeleteOh dear it happen with me too ,, I nearly had a heart attack ,
ReplyDeleteGlad you found your blog back and you are with us

Wow! Scary!!
ReplyDeleteThat's scary-makes you wonder what causes that!
ReplyDeleteWow, that had to be scary. To much time and work that is put into the blogs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would have made me panic a bit too. Glad you didn't have to go to battle with Blogger. Happy Stitching!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, nine years in August for me. I would die if that happened!
ReplyDeleteI guess it may be time to make a book of the blog...
Blogger is very strange at times.
ReplyDeleteWow Dani, I would have been scrambling around too! Blogger has been doing some really weird things lately....i've been asked to sign in again as well when I want to follow a blog but my blogs are still there. So glad you got it sorted :)
ReplyDeletehaha, that is something that could just as easily have happend to me to !
ReplyDeletejust look on the bright side, you could have completely shut off the internet, and that didn´t happen, now did it ?
lol !
but I do understand the feeling, the panic striking, and then the brain doesn´t seem to be working anymore, ahhhhh !
I am really happy you´re still here !
I was thinking the same thing when I saw you had updated and it said the blog didn't exist anymore. I glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the internet does some weird things. Glad you got your blogs back.
ReplyDeleteNow, if they could only make Facebook play nice on my android phone. :-(
Happy stitching!
I too saw you'd 'gone' and was stunned. Glad to see it was just a hiccup!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That would be awful!
ReplyDeleteI think we would all have the same panic response over our own blogs and I'm sure there would be general "worry" message sent out across the blogosphere if one of our number suddenly disappeared without warning! So glad your blogs re-appeared Dani :)

Wow! Definitely a panic~! Glad you got the blog back again! Hope the rest of your day is much quieter and more relaxing!
ReplyDeleteWeird, I wonder what caused that... glad everything's OK.
ReplyDeleteThis also happened to me a week or so back and I knew nothing about it until a friend messaged me to say my blog had disappeared...it was akin to one of my children going missing !. Am glad you got it back and like you I couldn't find a form to fill in. Its nice to have a lazy day and relax, its good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteArghhh...hope it doesn't happen to anyone else!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got it sorted Dani - I tried to read earlier and it displayed that the blog had been removed.
ReplyDeleteHow the H___ did that happen? I can just imagine your panic when your blog didn't materialize. This is the first time I've heard of this happening and I hope it was just a freak thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back online now!
I'm very glad things worked out for you and your blog was restored with no trouble.
ReplyDeleteThose kinda things are scary! Glad you're found all safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteI got the "this blog has been removed" message when I tried to read your update last night too, I'm so glad it wasn't true
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your blog returned. I can imagine how you were felling.
ReplyDeletex catherine
Now that's scary!! Seriously. I thought you had shut your blog down, because I couldn't get in either. Glad to see you're gonna be around for a long, long time. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me too about a month ago...scary, right?! Anyway...I'm glad your taking a curtain call rather than lights out! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back Dani. I'd hate to lose mine so can imagine how you must have felt.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your blogger troubles. Glad you got it all worked out.
ReplyDeleteTeresa's Heartfelt Stitches
Scary stuff. Now that I know this can happen, I'll try not to panic if this particular gremlin comes my way!
ReplyDeleteGlad you don't need to start over!!!
Dani, Have you followed up with the Blogger support people to see if they know what is causing the disappearing blog syndrome? I haven't looked into it but is there some way to export your blog and safe it as a backup. I know I have exported all my posts when I wanted to change the name. I wonder if you can backup that way too. That was you could burn all your history to a DVD. See you in blogland later.
ReplyDeleteWeird. Glad you got that resolved.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying watching your progress on the seasonal mandalas.
Wow scarey stuff!
ReplyDeleteBlogger seems to be misbehaving again, i've had trouble posting to a few blogs yesterday so gave up, today it seems fine again.
Holey Shamoley!!! I would have freaked out, too, and I'm only...what, four years in? Gee whiz, glad the glitch unglitched itself!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I would have panicked
ReplyDeleteYowza, what a scare, Dani!! So glad there's a happy ending. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would have freaked me out also, though I don't have nearly the same amount of content as what you do.
ReplyDeleteAiks! I think I'd have a heart attack if that happened to me. Glad it worked out fine for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica.
Oof! Just catching up with blog reading! Can't believe I missed this!! So glad all is well and that your blog is back and alive!! I think I would do the same as you, just start over. Although it would be sad to loose everything.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your blog back Dani
ReplyDeleteACK! That's scary. :(
ReplyDeleteI would've felt the same way as you if it happened to me. Glad nothing bad happened to your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow how scary
ReplyDeleteoh my! had read on some online groups that blogger was having issues.. glad it resolved for you quickly! luckily i haven't been stitching much so had not much to blog about!
