My blog is back…
In 2017 I underwent a disastrous brain surgery, well disastrous for me at least.
It caused me to lose the overwhelmingly vast majority of my memory and mostly eliminated my short term memory. Believe me when I say that being unable to remember a number longer than four digits brings one down to earth with a thump.
One of the cascading effects of this memory loss was that I lost control of my blog. I also lost almost all of my computer knowledge, so recreating it from a backup I found on my PC hasn’t been easy – but here it is…
Unfortunately the images that were attached to posts seem to have not been included in the backup – but all is not lost! Fortunately the good folks at GoDaddy were able to provide me with a directory backup of my hosting account. After copying that to my PC via FTP… sounds easy if you say it fast. I’m pretty sure I used to know what FTP is but no longer do, but GoDaddy assisted me in installing an FTP Client and walking me through every single step necessary to connect and transfer the file. Windows was then good enough to open the file and show me its contents, most of which are utterly meaningless to me, but some of which are the pictures and media I had on my original blog!
As soon as I manage to successfully upload them and attach them to the posts to which they were linked they should once again become visible. Bear with me while that happens, no promises on on a timescale though!
I must also try and learn how to use WordPress to make my blog look how I want it to. Right now it does not. In fact is isn’t even close, but all in good time.
Please note that at least for the foreseeable future I will not me permitting comments on any posts. I’m sorry to do this, but I just don’t have the emotional energy to sift through and try and separate actual comments from spam.
