@Lizy – Thank you sweetie, but I can’t remember ever posting a custard cake?

You know I had the same issues with my Web hosting. However, after much headaches and a lot of learning, I found most of the issues involving the lost of my posts was an error on my part. But if they performed the upgrade, it’s an error on their part.

I started archiving using my free blogger blog that way if I lose my blog again in the upgrading process, I can always import from blogger. It’s a pain though, posting to two blogs.
