For Reasons Unknown

For reasons unknown, my blog suddenly disappeared yesterday. In fact, I found myself persona non grata with Google so that I couldn't log in to my gmail account or anything else powered by Google. That includes Blogger. I sent an email to their contact and access was restored sometime after midnight last night. I don't know why but I'm glad everything is back with no problems.

I'll have a big announcement, for me anyway, coming up on Tuesday.

Glad you're back in business. Being Christmas, maybe it was the Grinch screwing with you.

A good Christmas to both you guys.

That's scary. I have way too many social media accounts open through Google. I don't think I'd have the energy to start over either.

Can't wait for your announcement!

Welcome back! Enjoy the holidays. Is Lana better yet?

That's scary! And now we have to wait till Tuesday...

Randy, could be. Glad to be back.

Christina, I was bumming over the thought I'd have to.

Ty, she's feeling some better and sleeping better, although we still have a ways to go.

Sage, it won't be long! :)

That is scary all right. Did Google tell you why it happened? I keep a backup of my posts in Word file and some key photos in a folder...just in case. I guess if you don't have your own bandwidth/server/domain or whatever they call it you're always at someone else's mercy.

Glad you weren't permanently taken offline.

Can't wait to see what your big new is.

 
At 12:23 PM, Blogger Deka Black said...

Scary. I do regular backups, just in case. 2 or 3 copies of each one in fact.

And i hope the news you say are good news ;)

I am so glad that your blog is back, what a scare that must have been!

Warm greetings and merry Christmas to you and Lana,
Merisi

Oh man, that is some scary stuff. Glad it's back in black ~~ and red and green ~~ cheers, Merry Christmas~!

 
At 2:04 PM, Blogger Charles Gramlich said...

Prashant, I guess so. I have most of my posts saved as word files too. The biggest pain would be restoring all the links on the page itself.

SQT, me too. I was worried for a bit.

Deka, it's good news. From my point of view at least.

Merisi, it was a bit scary. I've put a lot of work in on this thing.

Erik, thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Glad you're back. I'll keep an eye out for the announcement on Tuesday.

 
At 3:38 PM, Blogger Rachel V. Olivier said...

Glad you're back. Did they say why it happened?

 
At 8:11 PM, Blogger Charles Gramlich said...

Keith, thanks, man.

Rachel, no they didn't. It was pretty much a form reply.

 
At 9:11 PM, Blogger X. Dell said...

I'll look forward to your announcement. And I'm glad to see you're back on the air.

I had a instance when someone flagged me as a spam blog. It took about a week for me to get back to my account.

 
At 9:17 PM, Blogger Jess said...

Congrats on the good news--whatever it is. Since I'm out of town, I might not read about it until later in the week. :)

I was pegged a spam blog too once and boy! what a headache. They shut me down for several days.

 
At 10:22 PM, Blogger Charles Gramlich said...

X-dell, I figure it's probably something like that. I was frankly surprised I got back up so quickly.

Jess, Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if that's it. Glad to be back up fast.

Google does like to throw curve balls from time to time. Looking forward to tuesday's announcement!

It gives us a taste of how much we are owned by Google.

 
At 12:29 AM, Blogger Charles Gramlich said...

Barrie, yep, and this was a weird one.

oceangirl, you said it. So true.

 
At 7:53 PM, Blogger laughingwolf said...
