It’s Sunday.
And it’s grey outside.
And, yesterday, my blog almost died a slow and lonely death in the cyber-abyss.
I don’t know what happened, but someone, somewhere, decided that my innocent, I-like-to-pick-dandelions-whist-prancing-through-the-grass, site was deserving of Katniss-esque hacker-arrow accuracy.
Still with me?
Ohh, you’re good.
Sooo, bottom line: my blog almost died that day, my friend.
Good thing that I have an IT expert in-house. After countless hours of frustrating confusion, computer work, phone calls, and CPR, my blog is back and stronger than ever. Anthony has that kind of effect on people.
Cleaned-up and safe-guarded, my wee blog-child is back, limbered up, and back in prancing form.
Phew. Crisis averted. Because I don’t know the first thing about planning a blog-funeral.
But did I mention that it’s Sunday and that it’s dreary outside? And that I experienced emotional turmoil yesterday?
