  90% of my bloq disappeared after the last update, I thought it may come back when WGT realised they had screwed up, but no, so I eventually sent them an email and got this ridiculous reply....

  My reply was total John McEnroe.

  Obviously the monkeys they employ now are completely untrained.

  I'm sorry to hear that you've lost the major part of your blog John, but your misfortune may benefit the rest of us by reminding us to back-up stuff which we would find difficult or impossible to replace. I've just done mine so you have done me a good turn, although that's hardly likely to make you feel any better. Again, sorry, but thanks for the wake-up call.

  +1 ditto that.  I read oneeye's post and went and backed mine up too!  Backing up one's WGT blog is quite easy.

  1. Click edit at the bottom of the blog
  2. Click on "html" in the edit window
  3. Copy ALL of the html in the next window
  4. Open a new Notepad document.  Paste the html into the Notepad .txt document.
  5. Save that document to your hard drive.
  6. Cancel the html edit window.
  7. Close the blog edit window.
  8. Rinse and repeat for each blog.

  Thanks again for your post oneeye!

  hi

  are they all here?  http://www.wgt.com/members/oneeyedjoh/announcements/default.aspx

  if so, then you simply have too many blogs to fit 1 page, so only latest are shown. if you click view all on right side, then it'll load all of them.
