Moved My Blog

Filed Under Events | Leave a Comment

I originally had my blog on AOL (when I was still a newbie), then I moved it to opendiary.com because I preferred the functionality of the site and it was devoted specifically to blogs/journals. I was very happy with opendiary for quite awhile… happy enough to pay for a subscription.

Since I paid for a subscription I was lulled into a false sense of security - that my entries were safe and I didn’t have to back them up. Boy was I wrong!

There was a hacker attack on that site and everyone’s entries from july-sept 11th were deleted. They couldn’t recover them. It pissed me off, so I moved to livejournal.

The lost entries were so important to me… I’ve been kicking myself in the ass for not backing them up… needless to say I’ve learned a valuable lesson - now I save my entries to my hard drive as well as using other sites. I blog on yahoo 360, myspace, opendiary, livejournal, xanga, and now my own website… I think my posts are pretty secure now. :)

Anyways, losing all those entries discouraged me from keeping a journal for awhile. Here I am though, back in the saddle again.
