Daily (Almost) Disaster: That Time I Deleted My Blog

I just almost deleted my blog.

Okay, not the WHOLE blog--the content and all that.  (Though I DID accidentally delete my old blog that was solely photos of our crazy life.  Sad, sad day.)  It was more all the code that makes my blog look the way it does.

No, it doesn't look perfect. But it took me forever to get it the way it is and I'm planning to change much right now.  So I should NOT have played around with the html code, especially when I don't understand html code.  There is even a little warning on blogger like: "Please understand if you click this button to work on the html, you may DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD if you don't know what you're doing."  I still clicked the "Go Ahead, Genius" button anyway to edit my html and am still coming down from the adrenaline of the mild (major) panic attack I suffered when I tried to load my blog and just got an error message, then realized that I saved my code in case that happened, then continued to edit it instead of opening a new file.

When you panic, the best thing to do is just close the internet and pray that it forgot what you were doing. It did!  Whew.  I am still sweating.

  1. Oh the beast of html. It frightens me as well. I'm very glad you didn't delete your blog!

    1. I'm glad it's still here. I made Rob come in and just hold me while I tried to un-do what I did. He was like, "What's happening!?!?! and I was like, "Just hush and put your hand on my back for moral support."

  2. I should never mess with my code either, but I do, and I pay for it dearly. My blog looks like I got interrupted in the middle of working on it... only I'm pretty much finished because I can't figure out where the problem is... yet.

    You do download and save your whole blog from time to time, right?

    1. Um...no. So help! How do I go about downloading and saving?!? Must do that! Glad I'm not the only one who dumbly messes with things not to be messed with. :)
