I moved from Blogger to wordpress.org last year and feel much safer. My new server stores the backup of my blog too, so if I do lose it for any reason, I just restore it and all is well. What a mare you've experienced. So sorry about that, but don't you fear it happening again with another Blogger blog? You could be in the same position again in a few months. Such a shame when you clearly work so hard at your blog.<br /><br />Best of luck with this new blog. Pesky Google! It's like how Amazon just removes reviews for no good reason, just in case they're dodgy. Ridiculous!? <br /><br />Shah.

I had an email issue (hacked) through Gmail two years ago, which ultimately affected my blog. Google shut it down for 3 weeks. Daily, I sent "reports" through their help center, begging them to reinstate my blog. I never got a reply, but one day, it just reappeared, totally intact. Now I do a two-step verification thing with my phone to log into Gmail / blog. So far, so good. So glad you finally got it wrapped up and sorry for the loss of all your old posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-28049090281675438302013-05-03T01:34:25.199-07:002013-05-03T01:34:25.199-07:00oh yikes!!

My blog was shut down once, and I couldn't gain access until I gave Google my phone number (something I was loathe to do). But then I got the blog back. I think they could shut any of us down for "spamming" since the whole stupid site is obviously run by a computer that can't be reasoned with. I've resisted joining Google+, but I feel like a new shut-down and blackmail to force me to join that can't be too far away.<br /><br />I've followed and put your new addy in my blog roll. I'm crossing my fingers you have no more problems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-55816328412563144912013-05-02T07:23:27.483-07:002013-05-02T07:23:27.483-07:00And thanks to all who are helping spread the good ...And thanks to all who are helping spread the good word by posting link backs here.
