I know some of my friends blog on Wordpress, but I'm just not willing to learn a whole new system quite yet. If mine got erased I would be in shock, but at least the garden is still outside! Blogging is a lot like having a favorite pet...and then if it gets lost in the neighborhood you'll do anything to get it back.<br />And...nice garden pics of your garden. I always like to see what you are up to and it's always very nice.

Had not heard about blogs just disappearing though. Yikes! If there was as many as you say that were pulled, Blogger was probably scrambling to fix it as they caused it not you. All my photos and text is on my computer just not in a nice layout with little links like the blog.<br /><br />Glad to see all seems to be well today!Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-86687149761597654002012-08-01T13:31:49.892-07:002012-08-01T13:31:49.892-07:00they kept whining at me for a cell number.

I love blogging also--but this is becoming too much, and seems to be happening too quickly... <br /><br />I don't ever want to give up Blogging --but if I do, it will be due to some Blogger issues that I cannot solve.... <br /><br />So sorry it happened to you, Chris. I feel your pain. When I had that malware problem on my blog, I dealt with that for days and days without help. I was SO upset...<br /><br />Great pictures and your home/yard/garden looks GREAT..

They will send you a 6 number verification code by voice or text. Since I don't own a cell, I tried voice, but it wasn't working. Then I had it sent to Pat's cell and the text showed up and I was able to type it in and get the blog back up. Preventing it? Not sure. Last night, it appeared to happen to many people including a fellow blogger that I read frequently. I don't know if Google changed some formula but it happened as the blogger day ends across the world. For me, it's 5 PM when blogger officially starts us over for the next day and that's what happened. I think they had some changes for August and they set into motion causing the cascade of blogs going down. Hopefully that helps.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-63859889602532972992012-08-01T10:51:04.778-07:002012-08-01T10:51:04.778-07:00Thank you all for the tips.

I remember Andrea a long time ago had this issue and she told me to export my work which I do on a regular basis, but you never know:)<br /><br />From what I can tell is that the Google+ is a sensitive beast. Blogger doesn't like spammy blogs(which mine isn't) BUT I post my work on this Google + addition which has been a great tool for getting my work out there. I also post things to Facebook, etc. My laptop is where I write, but if I'm on the road or out of state etc etc, I use my kindle to publish comments and access my blog. This sets the google machine to state that the account will be deactivated due to unusual activity. So that's the deal with that.<br /><br />Thank you all for your tips and encouragement. Adrian, that's good advice:) I'm OCD about my work at home, garden, blog, and work....at some point, something has to give, right?:) Just go with the flow. Again thank you all for your words of wisdom.
