500th post!
It’s coming up to be the blogs birthday (Friday) and it turns out I’m on my 500th published post (there are a few more I didn’t publish for reasons of me not quite sharing everything with you lot). There have been ups and downs, twists and turns, good times and bad. I’ve got over 40 registered users (some of which actually come back once in a while), had nearly 2000 comments (although a good percentage of those are from me), other people have linked to this blog from their blogs and I’ve made it onto quite a few blog rolls. I’ve even met some of my readers in real life and formed friendships with them. The blog is also in the top 500,000 blogs on technorati (460,360rd). All of which begs the question: Are you mental?
Seriously, I spout drivel. Lots of it. I take photos of me in new shirts and go on at great length about it, I get excited about a pair of trousers that hold glowsticks and you lot seem to lap it up (incidentally, I bought another pair of them I liked them so much). It does surprise me the posts that get the most reaction though. Things I chuck out there as mere throw away comments generate loads of debate whereas other posts get totally ignored (I so thought someone would bite with that one).
The one time I did drop off the face of the planet you all bitched like hell about the lack of posts and there was near panic when the blog disappeared for a few hours. Still, you feed my ego, justify my god complex and don’t half make me laugh sometimes (goron, you comment on day socks still makes me chuckle to this day) and I love you all for that.
Yay! Congrats on making it to this point. Have a beer and here’s to 500 more
Congratulations!
Now don’t do what I did and accidentally wipe out your blog and have to start all over again
OK, so I only had 117 posts pre-wipe but I was still momentarily miffed, and subsequently too lazy to recover from backup.
You are aware that DH automatically back everything up and you just need to go pull the files from the .snapshot directory, of (it was the DB you trashed) restore from the last backup?
It was the files, then I thought, bugger, might as well trash the DB, then I even trashed the subdomain… all before I really thought about it properly
I still have a DB backup with a single post missing, and I could recreate the attachments if required.
Just couldn’t be arsed once I’d set up the new one.
Congrats on the 500th blog post - will have to take tou out for druitjuice/coffee/tea- non alcoholic beverage of choice to celebrate *grins*
Keep ‘em coming?
*hug*

Happy 500th!
Happy 500th :)It is funny which posts get ignored and which posts generate comments. Although I don’t generally write posts for comments, I do find myself sometimes wondering why a certain posts gets ignored. I find the drivel generates comments. People still read the other stuff but don’t comment. Maybe they don’t know what to say.
Ah! I like being loved.
