Can anyone help? I started a blog yesterday called life begins at 47 under this address http://afcdb10.blogs.iva.co.uk/
and it has disappeared. If I google it comes up but when I link to it , it comes up with the message
The site you were looking for, http://afcdb10.blogs.iva.co.uk/ does not exist, but you can create it now!
Is it possible to get it back or is it lost forever.

Hi,

I've no idea what has happened. Hopefully Admin can pick up on this.

Did you save it anywhere? Always best to save it as a word document in case something like this happens

Unfortunately I didn't save it which would of been a good idea as this happened last time I tried to blog. Never mind always next time.

Hi Micky
So sorry about your lost blog. We get so many spam blogs that just occasionally a genuine one goes unrecognised by the system when it is first posted.

Please load it again and we will do a manual check to make sure it's accepted this time !

As mentioned, we always recommend loading it elsewhere and copying... just in case !!

That's a shame Micky, just type it up in word or similar and save it before copying and pasting into the blog and in the unlikely event it happens again you'll have your backup.

Look forward to reading it in due course. x

Thought it was just me, spend several hours writing it the other day and it's vanished exactly as described above. Sadly I didn't save it elsewhere as it didn't occur to me that it would be wiped off :(

We extend a very warm welcome to all forum posters to write themselves a blog. Please post on the new section at the head of the forum (new blogs) if you are planning one, and mention the title or authors name you are going to use. The system wiill then be able to identify it as genuine. Unfortunately this is necessary as this site attracts a huge number of spam blogs.

We apologise if you have lost your blog and advise that your blog is duplicated elsewhere, just in case !
