Hijacked Pisteuomen Restored!!! Thank You Blogger!!!

As many of you are aware, someone played a nasty April Fools Day trick on me this morning (at least that's my theory) by hijacking my site. I tried everything I knew to get back into the site to fix it but my last resort was to email Blogger and have them go in, change things and then reissue me login info. Thankfully, I use the free "Blogger Backup" utility, so, once access was restored, I was able to get the site back to normal from old but up-to-date, files.

If you didn't see the drama that went down, here's a screenshot of the site that I took (I couldn't even right-click to get source code!!!):



Of course, Jim, being who he is, thought I did this in retaliation for some snide remark he made in the recent biblioblogs carnival but that's not the case (oh the audacity of him to think I'd read a post from his site!!!). Whatever. Anyway, things are back to normal. Many thanks to Blogger for coming to the rescue! I dare Wordpress to even try to top their service!

Do You Have The Blogger Backup Utility? If Not, Why?

If you host your site on blogger, you should really consider using the fast, free and incredibly useful backup utility called "Blogger Backup". With this tool, you can save any and all posts you have on various Blogger accounts. In the case that Blogger deleted your site or someone hacked it or if you deleted it years ago and then wanted to restore it, if you had this tool, you'd be able to do it in minutes. I have over 900 posts on Pisteuomen and this tool backed them up in under 1 minute. If you're using Blogger but not this utility, all I have to say is: Why not!? You can get "Blogger Backup" by clicking the image-link below:
