I didn't think I'd blog today. I was just randomly surfing a blog networking site, when I saw one particular blogger (whom I follow) complaining that a lot of her comments had just disappeared! I thought it was strange, because I've been blogging since at least 2 years (not on this blog) & have never come across a problem like that. Then I came to my blog & surprise, surprise, I had the exact same problem! Though I didn't have a huge amount of comments, I've lost about 30% of them. I'm not really sure what I should do. But I've been thinking about my options-
1) Declare that 'All is Lost' & then sit & mourn for a week
But this option doesn't seem too likely because- Blogging is a passion, yet it is not 'my life.' I've got French classes, college, etc. Besides, if I wanted to sit & home & mourn for a week, mom would kick me out of the house!
2) Put on my Sherlock Holmes hat, grab a magnifying glass & go snooping
No good either, because I suck at html or anything related.
3) Twiddle my thumbs & wait
This seems like the only good option, mainly because the earlier too options wouldn't work out. Do I look like I have a choice?
Do tell me if you are experiencing the same problem!

You are now the second person who has complained about this problem today ... it's very odd. So far I haven't had the problem and fingers crossed I don't. I hope it gets sorted out - have you been to the google help boards? Is there anyone else there having the same issue?
ReplyDeleteHehe...I really liked your post! Made me smile! I briefly contemplated step 1 but then figured...they are just comments. I'll survive! :P I'm trying to see if I can leave a message about the problem on the google forums. Apart from that, it's probably going to be step 3: twiddle my thumbs and wait! By the way, none of my lost comments have returned...
ReplyDeleteHmm.... I really like option @2. Put on your Sherlock Home's hat, pleeeease! I knowz, I knowz, youa re no good at html but that is one really cute hat. You would look adorable and be uber happy. And um... post pictures of you in your hat ^_^ That would make another fun blog topic.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, um, cool blog! I am now officially a follower of this blog :-)

@Kittie Cath- hehe I don't really have a Sherlock Holmes hat you know! Gonna have to get one from a costume shop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments & for following!
@Sid- I know! Very weird. Hoping it sortst itself out
ReplyDelete@Psycho Babbler- Thank You! Your comment has given me an idea! I should have added 'Get Drunk & loudly sing I will survive' lol.
My comments keep fluctuating. From the original 130 odd to 80 something to 107 to now 104 (though I just got more comments.) I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just the sidebar widget giving trouble. But I don't think so. Lets hope that the comments come back! :)
Its seems we are experiencing a recession in the world of comments..Hope there is some on a la Barrack Obama who would promise to turn it around...and hope he really does......

Yikes! That is creepy. If my comments disappeared one day, I think I would freak out and lose it completely! I really cherish the comments I get and pray hard that none of them vanish. Oh, please God!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I liked this post. The humourous touch is very nice and this is a new level you have achieved. Nice pictures to complement your words. Cheers. Hic! ;-)
To Magali:
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, so you were refering to a metaphorical Sherlock Home's hat! I understand now ^_^
It's a pleasure to follow your blog, you're a very entertaining, witty writer.
And thank you very much for following my blog :-)
I'm honored <3

Yes Kittie. I consider myself pretty eccentric, but not enough to own a Sherlock Holmes hat. On second thought, maybe I should go buy one right now!
ReplyDeleteThank You for the wonderful compliments, you're making my day! :)
And you're welcome.
@Vittal- Thank You. But I didn't understand the 'hic'
ReplyDeleteCheers = drunk = Hic! ;-) Though I do not drink! :D
ReplyDeleteHmm, I knew Hic was for drunk, but I was still confused. I didn't make the connection (brain is working slow again!)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, nice one! :D
