My Blog Disappeared.

Ouch!  This is kind of scarey, you know?  I logged on to read blogs, and these are the messages I got.

Blog has been removed


I was able to access my dashboard by using www.blogger.com, but when I tried dewelldesigns@blogspot.com I got the message that my blog has been removed.  I think it's an error and will see if I can get it fixed, but after being booted out of the Adsense program, I've never quite trusted Google and Blogger again. If I can get this posted, at least you will all know we're okay, it's just Me and My Dog that is kaput.  :(

Here goes...

It worked, and now we seem to be up and running again.  I'm going to leave this post here, just in case. (Time to copy the blog over to Word Press again so I won't lose it. :)

  1. Yep, no trust on those here either. Have lost my blog a few times. Backing it up is the only answer.
    Nice to see you're not missing!

  2. That happens all the time. It will say that you don't have a blog...or that you aren't following ANY blogs, etc. I just log all the way out and when I log in again it is usually restored. It is just aggravating though. Have a great night- xo Diana

  3. Blogger is actively transferring all users from the old Dashboard Format to the new format.

    If you were still using the old format(and, maybe even if you weren't), this could have resulted in temporary confusion.

    Your blog appears to be o.k. from what I can see now.

  4. I sent you an email to tell you what was happening. First, your pictures just had exclamation points. Then, I tried to access it directly from the web instead of the Reader. It told me that your blog was no longer there. It did the same to me once, and I did the same as NanaDiana. I've been wanting to back my blog up, but I don't know how. Karyn Lee or anyone, if you know would you tell me where to do it? Thanks. Gad you're back on, Me!!!

  5. I wonder what happened to the email? Now I can't even remember where it gave me the option to email you--I thought they were going to pass communication along to you.

  6. The option to email the author is under the comments in the reader.

  7. Yep, I tried to get to your sight also and got the same message..... than a little while later presto you were back!. I thought maybe you were just having to much fun at your new spot and on 'vacation'. glad to know you were safe and sound... just blog wacko!

  10. Happened to me a little while ago when I tried your Blog. I tried again right after and it came up. Hmmm I wonder what is happening??

  11. I've seen that a bit and then when I go back, it's there. However, I don't always think to go back.

  12. That has happened to me periodically, even before new blogger. I usually restart my computer and all is okay.

  13. Glad you are not gone...that would be scary thinking the blog was gone!

  14. Yeah, I got the black question mark too..weird. I wish they'd just leave it alone. I don't like or want the new format. Glad ur ok.

  15. Glad you found your blog... and SO glad I at first read it wrong! I thought it said "my DOG has disappeared"!! that would be MUCH worse.

  16. You were booted about of Adsense, too? Never understood that or what happened. Just about the time I was accumulating a little (and I do mean little) bit of income and they sent me my stuff for drawing out money, POOF. Account was gone. They still send me emails about new advertisers, etc. I'm so done with that and thinking about switching to Wordpress. Glad your blog is still here and that "my dog" has not disappeared! :)

  17. Yeah, I noticed that last night. I figured it was Google again :)

  18. It's okay now..thankfully. Think I'll go back up my blog...if I can remember how!

  19. Blogger and Google are both a huge pain in the ***. Always supossedly improving their formatting just when I have finally figured it out. Glad all is well and you and Katie are still here. (())s to you both.

  20. I got that message yesterday. It is such a scary experience to find that somebody you've followed for a long time is GONE. Like on Star Trek. Somebody was beamed out of sight! I googled Dewelldesigns. Got to your site by clicking there. Was some relief to find out you didn't really disappear. Suppose sometimes emergencies happen and people really do "go away". Glad you didn't! Rose

  21. Sure glad I read your blog... I had no idea that I should back up my own. I am SO naive about computer issues... sure glad I have folks like Rick, Donna, E-Square etc to keep me on the right path. I'd be lost without you!

  22. I recall reading very recently (can't remember where) that some people lost their Blog when they switched over to the new format.

    YIKES I thought - I'd better get my blog backed up. But between procrastination and not knowing how I still haven't done it !!

    Can you tell us how to back up our Blogs ??
