I’ve completely lost two posts. They vanished. Something was fishy the night I posted them, because I remember that the first vanished before I posted the second, but I still had the first in a separate file so I reposted it. Now they’ve disappeared, and Blogger Support doesn’t seem to help much, as all their suggestions are clearly aimed at technically un-savvy users who might, say, delete their own posts by mistake.

I sent them an email and am still waiting for a response. I presume both posts are gone forever, which is lousy, since I can’t even remember what one of them was, and the other was a long-ish list/lexicon of dialectical features I’ve noticed in my students’ usage, and I spent quite a long time writing that one. I still have the rough list, but I’m not eager to re-write. I wish I could even remember what the other post was.

Maybe I’ll move the blog to another provider.

Nobody happened to cache a copy they still have floating around, did they?
