Wiping The Slate Clean!:-)
Sometimes you just have to laugh at the unexpected “events” that keep life exciting!:-)
Tonight, after spending the day tweaking the new Our Alabama Roots site, I decided to update my existing OGR Theme & Wordpress installation.
So being the “techie” I am, I followed each step perfectly. I was home free – after several hours, WP 2.8 was successfully updated & the new theme in place! Aside from a few minor edits to the header, my work was finished.
But then I logged-out & encountered a database error & rather than doing a step-by-step analysis to determine the error source {which of course, I know to do}, I was impatient & decided to do the next best [or worse] thing – I deleted my EXISTING database!
Yep the entire database & of course once I hit “delete”, I KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that Our Georgia Roots, the blog, was G-O-N-E!
Of course I can salvage the links [eventually!] & thank God my data collections live at Picasa & AfriQuest but all of my posts & your insightful comments? Gone just like that!
Hmmm… well I guess it really is time for a new look & a fresh start!
Lest we forget…
Luckie.
OMG = Oh My Genealogy!!!!!
I know Allum… that was my first reaction! But after I thought about it, maybe there is a reason I am forced to revisit all those records once again… maybe the Ancestors are telling me something!:-)
My reaction would be the same as Allum’s plus sounds like that would be something I would do.
Don’t get me wrong Mav, initially there was COMPLETE shock! And then, acceptance – what else could I do? And knowing that Ancestors always have their reasons, maybe this is their way to make me “revisit” all the OGR files?!
