I am deeply, deeply frustrated. As some of you may know, 'Blogger.com' has recently experienced a catastrophic system failure. I am new to this service, so I do not know if this happens regularly, but even if this was a once-off happening it was at a terribly inconvenient time:
To cure the malfunction, the administrators (or whatever the idiots in high-command are called) 'temporarily' removed all posts that were entered after this most recent Wednesday morning. This seemed to fix the problem and all the recent blog posts were restored except, as it turns out, mine. Because my page was created on Wednesday afternoon, their removal of all entries included the actual entry of my blog, and (though I do not know why) they have failed to restore it.
This is somewhat of an inconvenience for me, for I spent a good several hours setting all my settings, linking all my links, posting all my posts and generally fiddling around to get things just the way I wanted. The only advice that I have found on the internet about missing blogs is from illiterate fools who are upset that their porn hub has been flagged as 'splog' (what a strange word) and removed. This is of no help to me, and I am unwilling to go through the torturous twisted labyrinth that is contacting the authorities in the matter, for I am near certain this will (after hours of letters and stupid explanations) result in nothing more than a generic apology and a half-hearted good luck in reforming my new blog.
So, rather than put myself through fruitless hours of effort I shall begin recreating A Word on Ducks. Over the next few days, or weeks, or however long it should take I will work tirelessly to restore this site to its former glory. And, unlike the Byzantine Empire, I shall not fail.
