Jay, I feel for you! I can’t even imagine what THAT must feel like…
As a little compensation, I am following you on Twitter now! Things can only get better…

Well Jay, that does suck…hitting the mouse there musta been kinda like that last second when someone pulls the trigger.

Seems I have computer trouble just about too often. I do back up frequently now. I first learned this lesson in college. I was taking a final exam in Autocad. The computer froze up and crashed half way through my work. I lost it all and had to start over. Not good. Back up as often as possible.

Hi Jay I am sorry you lost your site. But, your asking for help has helped me. I have not backed up my site and am going to correct that immediately.

I hope you are able to recover your site with the information you received from other followers.

Oh man, that really sucks. Too bad you haven’t been following me earlier, I’ve been harping on everyone to make backups.

You might also want to keep in mind the URL used to access the pages you recover as well. Don’t need to compound things with a google slap as well, not to mention all those dead links now. Truly a bummer.

I need a marketing genius right about now, so I’m looking forward to anything you might have to share. I’m out in Southern California, the concrete jungle as it were. I’m a web and app developer with a focus on C# and providing web sites to those that need one at an affordable rate, with quality results.

Great to meet you and I’m looking forward to sharing with you. Cheers!
