Ugh. The dreaded 404 Message appeared on my blog. After a week of relatively smooth transition to the new format 5 of my posts disappeared. Nothing is refreshing. They are nowhere to be found.
They are not in drafts.
They are not unpublished.
They are not in published.
They are gone.
They are not on the servers according to my son.
They have vanished.
Into thin air.
I blame sun spots.
Or something.
But just know that we are working on finding them and if we can’t I will definitely be reposting the Comments for a Cause post for January because that is one that needs to be there for life, don’t you think?
It just goes to show you that sometimes life is unplanned. Sometimes 404 messages appear even if you are well prepared. Sometimes you just have to accept the message and move on.
So that is what I am doing. I am still here although life has been a tad bit frantic lately. More on that later .
Don’t give up on me—honestly–I truly believe the best is yet to come. Thanks for staying tuned.

Leave a commentWe’re here! Technical difficulties are not my forte…. so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a quick resolution.
Oh no. I’m feeling for you. I assume you or your son have contacted your host?
I’ve tried and tried to leave a comment, but no joy. I keep getting messages that say, “You’re posting comments too quickly. Slow down!”
Uh – ok!
Noooooo–not more bad messages!!!! Sigh. I will relay that to my tech support as well. At least you saw this one before it disappeared! Thanks for commenting!
Aw….I hate technological difficulties…. Good luck!
Aha! I wondered if I was the only one who couldn’t read your posts, thought you’d cut me off! Hope they magically reappear.
I wondered what had happened because I got the email notification of a new post… and then WHAM — 404 Wipeout!! And I didn’t even laugh Because As A Blogger I KNOW!! ugh.. gggrrrrrr. I even created a special page that you will land on if you 404 on my blog — because there was a period of time when it happened so often, I thought people might as well get a chuckle. you can see it by clicking this error link

Ugh – I just hate technical problems and then no one knows what happened! They can’t explain it, can’t figure it out and just hope it doesn’t happen again! Good luck.
Best of luck with your dilemma Beth Ann, I do hope that you get it all squared away..
Hang in there my friend. Technical issues can drive one crazy. It will all work out. (Just like life!)
Bah! Looks like you are back on track again!!!
You seem to be taking this in stride. Your comparing this to happenings in life is brilliant. Brilliant, my friend.
so sorry to learn this. It’s a shame to hear about how your incredible talents got waylaid by technical glitches. I fight many technical issues myself and only can hope someone or somehow your posts reappear.
It’s all good. It is just odd and baffling to the technical gurus that do my blog work. 🙂 I have plenty more posts to write–never fear!
Present and accounted for. Glad you are keeping the good attitude. And of-course all of lifes trials and tribulations are fodder for the next blog post!
Whew–glad you are here. I lost everyone for awhile. I am slowly getting you all back…..slowly.
Ok, I wondered where you had gone…none of your posts are showing up in my reader and I thought maybe you were just taking a break. The only way I found you was by clicking a message of yours you left on another blogger’s site. 🙁 So…not sure how you can appear on my reader again as I don’t see a link on your site here to follow. (maybe I’m just not technologically savvy??) Anyway, I’m going to read all the ones I missed and get caught up!
Welcome back! It’s all that technological stuff that you “think” is all worked out but then you find out later it isn’t. I am slowly finding you guys that have been lost by the wayside. Thank goodness. I can’t lose you!
Sorry that you lost some of your blogs.
Sorry you are having problems. I am also, I cannot seem to get to your blog today.
[…] to locate those missing posts from around the new year. Where could they be? As I wrote about here there were 5 posts that vanished into thin air–never to be seen again. Oh they posted once […]
I just sent you a private message on your FB page telling you this exact thing! I wanted to know what your 3 words for 2015 are specifically!
