NOTE TO SELF
Should you ever decide to delete posts in future:
- Reconsider, and change visibility to Private
- If you decide against (1.), BACKUP your database
- If you follow (2.) and need to recover and merge the deleted files, here are some helpful instructions that work a treat.
- Or, if you’re not feeling particularly lazy, you might consider finding and installing an undelete widget of sorts. I’m pretty sure there are options out there now.
SIGH
I barely blogged in 2012. I was kind of busy. Prior to the blogging hiatus, I deleted a bunch of posts. Now that the hiatus is over, I sort of miss those posts. Regardless of the chapter I’m in NOW, those posts comprise my history. My last backup was from 31 Dec 2010. Sad, because the major scrub took place at the end of 2011. So I’m missing whatever posts I deleted from 2011. Thankfully, I was able to restore whatever I deleted prior to 2011.
Lessons learned.
Onward.
