Woke up, opened my blog, no blogroll. Gone, POOF! Never to return.
I didn't do it. I don't know if anyone intentionally did it, or if the universe just really wanted to fuck with me today. And by extension, fuck with some of y'all.
Now the pisser of it all is this:
To put my blogroll back, I have to open the widget, then open the blog, copy the URL, put it in the widget, click save, go to next blog and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
I had over 40 blogs on my blogroll. I don't remember what I had on there. I can think of maybe 5 or 10. The rest elude me. So I will do the ones I remember. If there are any I missed that you can't live without, comment here or email me. I'll get to it when I can.

I suggest going to your crazy uncle bubba and copying his blog role
I would also suggest Weasel Zippers.
And I thought I was a stalker. Rank amateur next to those folks. :)

Go to "Crazy Uncle Bubba", pretty close. Love your blog, btw.
I wondered what happened. I was missing it today because I use it every day. I hope they appreciate you.

...not just you, Angel...same thing (missing links list) on several other blogs I visit...
There is a utility called AutoIt. It automates Windows commands and mouse strokes. You can create a file of your blog roll in a text editor and it will read the file and load your info. It's very useful. People thought I was a genius at my last job. Nope, just lazy.

Blogger's been fucking up your blogroll for a month now. Go to wordpress and start a new blog, do a final post here directing your readers to your new URL and leave this one up for the archives. I did it 3 years ago and never looked back.
This is starting to form a pattern. Conservative or anti-liberal sites having total failures. Backup time folks! Get you an external hard disk and do a daily backup.
hmm; another case of "hilly the were pig"
at least you are still alive!
or is this a "bad thing"?

You know, technically speaking you don't actually need a blogroll.
At least it did not reset your Happy Camper counter.
Coming up on 5 million - I remember back when ...
Wirecutter brings up a good point. I have a couple of blogs on blogger and maybe one on Wordpress. I can' remember exactly why but when I recently started a new blog I went with blogger. The whole idea of someone else hosting and therefore controlling my blog has always bothered me. When I was blogging more seriously, I had my own hosting. I had to give up when times got bad for us and lost it all.
In any case, I can see a need for a hosted blog platform that would not penalize folks for their views. Would this be of interest to anyone? I'd likely have to charge a couple of bucks per month to cover costs. However I could help anyone who asks monetize their site.
The setup would be similar to hosted blogs i.e. yourname.domain.com. Those who already have hosted sites and/or own domain names could be set up under a subdomain. (It this stuff makes your head spin, don't worry, I'll be there to help.)
As for the blog platform, you could use any one you want as long as it is available. In other words - if you use Blogger you will probably have to switch but if you don't want Wordpress, you are free to find something else.

I got hit too. Lost my blogroll. Fuckers!
