Quick Update
June 25, 2007
I worked on the site a bit. A little experimentation and I have the sauce recipe up. Please let me know if you have any problems. I have a billion things to do and work on today but I couldn’t start my day without knowing it was possible to rebuild.
OK I have to go!!! A real quick thanks to everyone again the support has been UNBELIEVABLE!

Hi Roni- I am sorry to hear you are going through so much! :-(
I just wanted to let you know that I found about 1/2 my blog through Google Cache and I have emailed it to myself for safe keeping…. please don’t beat yourself up– these things happen. Thanks for immediately starting things back up and I will move my newly created blog back to your site when you have it back up!! :-)

Hey Roni - I am so sorry this has happened to you! I also found most of my blog through Google Cache and am up and running (sorta) through blogger.com. Maybe once you get ready, we can try to rebuild!! {{{HUGS}}}

Take care,

Hooray, the photos are almost up! It’s looking as it did before. This site is a life saver, Roni, thank you so so much for putting all your hard work back into this. You’re awesome! I would be devasted if you had given up. I have yet to find another site that gives me as much inspiration as yours.

How can I find my google cache. I too have “restarted” until the site is back up and would love to recover my old posts.
Thanks again for trying to get things back up and running. We’re all here to support you!

Roni you have many options. Even if you hosting company didn’t make any backups to your database at all. (i would make sure they aren’t bailing out on their side of the agreement) A corrupted can database can most times be fixed. Not always easily, but it can. Make sure you save all that data from those drives in those machines. There has to be a database guru that is a fan of the site. I work in IT and my fienca and I love your site. Best Wishes

Go to google
Search for weightwachen blogs or swizzlepop or whatever
When the results come up tell it to include ommitted results
Each search result as a link that says “Cache” click that and you will see it…

Roni-
I understand the “rebuild” process. I think each and every one of us on your site, understands that! I didn’t think I was really going to do much on your site, to tell the truth, but now that I am not able to, I really miss it and kind of had a panic attack! I started a new blog at http://amazinglyslowandpainfuljourney.blogspot.com
I will keep checking back here to see if the site is back up and running!
Good Luck!

Woo hoo! I am so glad you are back up and running, but so sorry to hear about your lost journal. I LOVED that journal b/c I am just now starting out where you were way back when. It was inspirational to me!
You are one tough cookie, I knew you’d be back! You go, Roni!!

Looks like you have things going pretty quickly. Im so sorry for what happened. I was so shocked, every time I tryed to open your page last night there was an error message. I was so upset I almost cryed. I use and read your site every single day. Its the best site out there if you ask me!! Cant wait till everything is back the way it was, take your time and dont let yourself get stressed!! Thank you for such a great site!!!!

Hi Roni: Wow! Even though I had only been blogging for a week, I went into serious withdrawl pains not being able to get to the site this weekend.
I also have set up my new blog:
http://lucey-oncemorewithfeeling.blogspot.com
Thanks to everyone’s tips I was able to recover all but one of my posts. I’m trying to put there links to as many weightwatchen blogs as I can find. Count me in as one of those not going anywhere. Good luck with the rebuild & enjoy your vacation!!!
Lucey.
