I’m sure there was much more on the ADD thread than you’ve captured. for instance, there was a hilarious comment by “suddenly anonymous.” and I believe Aunt Soozie had more to say about Alison and banjos.

pretty please, will you dig further?

Just so everyone is clear on how I’m going about this (I appreciate everyone’s support and understanding in the face of technology… I also am worried because I’m flying to Japan on the 9th and if Mercury is in retrograde until the 10th….):

First I entered in my standard backup (happens every week or so).

Then, for the posts between the standard backup and the problem date, I used a Google cache search. Much like what Yoj La Rosz provided, but just for the site and article title.

I performed minimal formatting and just worked to get the content up there. I apologize if anyone’s search rankings are unduly effected by me just putting all the comments in the one post (I’d rather spend the time it would take to manually re-enter the posts improving the general blog structure and design-but seriously, let me know if you really and truly want me to put the formatting back in place).

For the record:

I did have a more current backup (June 17th), but given the nature of backups (they work about 80% of the time, and the other 20% they create a complete nightmare) I decided to go with the June 9 backup that I knew worked and didn’t create dis-harmony between the database (the thing that stores all the content) and the structure (the code underlying what you see as a web page). I could go on at length about my decision to do this but it would be geek speak. If you’re really interested post a comment and I will make a post elsewhere.

Thanks again, G-lo

If anyone has further good search-terms that gets a better cache than what I’ve put in, please submit it as a comment to this post and I will re-enter them.

BTW…I loved all those posts…I kept wanting to add, but then he would have beat me to the punch
