Short trip to Germany and Scotland

It’s 9 o’clock in the morning, August 20<sup>th</sup> 2011. Breakfast consumed, bike loaded and I’m ready to roll. Let’s go! I’m only on the road for a little over an hour before the rain starts coming down heavy around Birmingham so I pull over into a refuge area at the side of the M6 to quickly put waterproofs on.

Lost quite a lot of content...

Well as the title states, I’ve lost quite a lot of this site’s content. My site is powered by WordPress and for some reason on a night last week there was a database error, OK no problem I thought, I’ll just reload the latest backup I have. It turns out the latest backup I have is from over 2 months ago, and roughly 6 weeks ago I made a lot of structural changes to the pages (but didn’t create a backup immediately, that’ll teach me!), including the free templates page, which is quite popular and where most of this sites 15,000+ unique visitors per month end up going. I’d had them (the free templates) organised into their own separate pages instead of “blog” posts announcing them but that’s all lost now until I get around to rewriting all of the content for them, oh well, it happens I guess.
