Some of you may notice that my blog looks a bit different now. Know why? Because Blogger ate my template. Again. And I had to replace it with a backup from September of 2003 because I just replaced my hard drive and my more recent backups got lost in the shuffle.

Blogger’s done this to me three times now. This is the first time in a year or so. The first time since the Google purchase. The first time since the most recent series of drastic improvements and added features. I assumed that whatever was causing this problem had been resolved. Today when I visited my blog, I saw nothing but the banner across the top and an ampersand where the next table row should have started.

I sent an email to Blogger Support, whatever that is. We’ll see if they decide to go out of their way to try to recover my template. Somehow it doesn’t seem likely.
