This is the one where I recover everything.
Posted January 24th, 2009 by Mike Lawson
Yesterday morning I got a call from a guy named Alon at GoDaddy. He told me that his job was to search the web and to find people talking about GoDaddy…and if they had issues, to help them find a resolution.
The guy at technical support for GoDaddy that originally “helped” me and instructed me to delete my database did not leave good notes, so I had to explain most of the story to him.
He was really helpful and had some of their tech guys send me a backup of my database (that included my last 2 years of blog content) for free…even though their tech support had instructed me that it would cost $75.
Then my boyfriend sat up all night figuring out how to merge the old content with the new content. And he was successful!
All of my content is back!

Hi Mike- I am/was one of your benevolent bloggers
I’m also the Recruiting Director at GoDaddy.com. I knew when I read your post about your content just the right person to help out, so I emailed Alon.
I’m glad your blog is back up and running
I enjoy reading it.

Yay! I’m happy your stuff is back. I was just about to offer to help when I read the other post. I use Google Reader, which likes to cache all of the posts. I did that for another friend when she lost all her stuff, but you’re good now. Yay! =)
