I really messed it up this time. I was trying to upgrade my WordPress from 1.5 to 1.5.1.1. It turns out that I was looking at the wrong Wiki for the upgrade (apparently, the new install one instead). It also turns out that I really don’t have clue one what I am doing. I overwrote all of my WP files, created a new database and managed to apparently wipe my entire blog. This, if true, is highly disappointing, to say the least. I hope against hope that you would be able to restore my blog from a recent back-up. If so, I promise, I will love you forever. No really. I mean it. Not in a weird way. Just a platonic passionate love a user feels for the wizard-like techie who saves his unknowledgeable hind end. You have always treated me great in the past, so I know you will have done everything possible to help me, even if I really did dump the whole thing down the memory hole. Thanks folks.
Love Always,
MisterBixby, Idiot User.
This is the actual ticket I submitted to LivingDot support. I hope it brought them a chuckle. I must tell you that the support system at LivingDot, my host, has been incredible. I submitted this ticket at 11:45. I had a response by 11:53 and while the response was essentially, “Don’t worry, we perform nightly back-ups, but I can’t restore it tonight. The day shift can do it when they get here,” when I checked my blog at 8 a.m., my blog was fully restored.
Those of you who don’t get InstaPundit traffic and are looking for affordable and knowledgeable hosting should really look at LivingDot for your blog hosting needs. I couldn’t be more satisfied. Thanks again guys.
This has been an unpaid testamonial for LivingDot blog hosting services. The writer makes this statement out of sheer joy at their splendiferous service.
Yikes!
Good Luck…
