I committed the cardinal sin

I just deleted all of the old posts from this weblog, and don't have backups. This is the cardinal sin of webmastering. Luckily I had text copies of all but two of my posts, so if something seems like it missing it will be those from those two posts. If I can track them down I will repost them.

If this site was a bit older this wouldn't have created so much of a problem. I could have simply gone to one of the cacheing search engines or gone to the wayback machine and retrieved the data from there. The only real damage caused has been the loss of being able to follow the look of this blog as it changed and developed over its very short life to reflect the main site changes.

Cest' la vie (if I remember my few French lessons is an apt response)

In other news,

I am now going through the process of submitting both Welcome to my Town and the Welcome to my Town BLOG to the search engines. This may seem premature especially with the main site still not having any real content, but search engines can initially be slow moving when it comes to spidering pages (anywhere from a week to six months).

The directories can vary wildly as well so for now I will only be submitting this weblog and will follow up with the main site in about a week when hopefully it should be filling nicely with great stories about towns from a round the world.
