Technical Difficulties
So, patting myself on the back for making a backup template file, I re-installed it. Only to realize that one has to update said file regularly. Luckily, no major structural changes had taken place, but I had added quite a few links to my blogroll. I recontstructed the list as best I could from memory, but I know I am missing a few folks.
So, if you were once on my blogroll, but are now missing, this is not a statement of any kind, other than...I suck at html and I am too stupid to do regular backups. Also, when I replaced all my links, I did them in completely random order, so if you are further down on my list than you were previously, please know that this is not any kind of statement either.
PSA...do regular back-ups, OR use a blogrolling service. I tried that, but couldn't get it to work. If you don't suck, maybe you will have better luck.
Carry on.

I suck and you have just freaked me out. How do you back up? Ack, help me!

Don't freak, it's easy. I just went into my template, copied it and pasted it into a word file. Titled it "Blog Template Georgia". Voila. But...like I said, you then must actually update the file. Regularly.
Given the mercurial nature of blogger lately, I am now working on backing up all my archives as well.

BA, I am giggling my ass off - you've now listed me as "Mothergoosemouth".
Uh yeah - backups. Excellent idea. Have saved my own arse before.

HOw bad does blogger suck. I never made any back ups so I'm taking your advice.

I've really been enjoying TypePad. It's not free, but darn near. Think about it.

Template is important. Database is also important, as it's where all the content is stored.

It's kind of a crass workaround (one more reason why Blogger is free, I expect), but it does the job.
As they said in Starsky and Hutch - DO IT.
