Delete Your Own Blog

15Jun09

Yesterday I did the blog equivalent of dropping a cell phone in a toilet; I accidentally deleted goodtechnique.wordpress.com (hence the current pluralization). Now the question of “How stupid does someone have to be to delete their own blog?” I’d like to respond to that by saying, “Not that stupid.” I’m a little too embarrassed to get into the how and why, so I’ll save that for another day.

I would, however, like to give credit where credit is due. I used Brian Cook’s great blog recovery technique that utilizes Google’s caching feature. I had never really seen the need for this in the past, but I’m happier than a pig in shit that Google was smart enough to think of this.

*Just a reminder: Make sure you know which blog you’re removing when you click delete.
