I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!Can you all comment on this entry so that we can get it up high into the most talked about entries category so that more people will see it and be able to know what is going on?
I did ask on the forums if we were going to get the last chunk of our blog archives back and the answer is no. SA got hacked and the data was deleted. Here is what James had to say:
What happened was we got hacked - someone broke in to the server and deleted the data. The only viable backup we had was from April, so...I'm really, really sorry about this, I think that work is probably gone.
My tech guy will be undergoing some retraining as a result of this debacle. Apologies again. I know your work is valuable and your time is important.
So I would recommend that you spend some time backing up your entire blog. This could happen again.
I spent about an hour today working on backing up my blog entries. So far I have April of 2006 copied into Word. I am doing them individually instead of pasting the whole month archive page since it runs backwards. It's a little more tedious that way, but then when I find another blog platform to copy them to, it will be a lot easier for me.
Laura (Keeping it Frugal) has a post called Whew! if you haven't seen it. Comment on there if you want to join her new forum as a meeting place for us if the blogs go down again.

I checked savingadvice when it went down and this had it backed up until about April 2018, if I recall correctly

Jane, thanks for the reminder of that web archive. Looks like my blog is captured up until Sept 3, 2018. I have another site I need to check on there. A government agency has been scrubbing their site to remove data that was once public.
And I'll be honest when I thought about all I potentially lost, I wasn't that upset. On some level surprising that was my reaction was just simple acceptance that I could not change what I myself did not feel was necessary to protect in the first place.

Google site:luckyrobin.savingadvice.com keyword keyword [I mean put actual words there]. If there's a little triangle it's cached; if not, I don't know if there's a way to get it. But if you see the little triangle and click and choose "cache" then you should be able to pull up the blog post.
I found one of my deleted posts so far that I can do this with and two that may not have been cached.
