I did leave a post and sorry if you did not get to read it due to your problems. What I said was that I was at your nearest train station hoping to meet you, I had 10,000 euros to give you as a gift if you could get to see me within the hour before my train left. Because you did not turn up I spent all the money on chocolate instead for the journey. Oh wll, never mind! tee hee Hope you are both well. bye for now M <strong>Lifecruiser: That's totally cool, we have our own chocolate, heartshaped..... Hope you're rolling ;-)</strong> Hey!

So far I have never had that problem but I do read a lot about it! I have been giving some serious thought to changing from blogger and getting my own domain and place but so far I have been lucky with my area! But it must be frightful after all your work to find it missing and in someone elses control. Hope it smooths out for you! I keep back up copies of all my templates and changes but there is not much I can do with copies of my postings!

There is one way to backup the posts to, I've read somewhere, but it's at the same time a bit risky, so it's not so easy to dare to take the step.
