I haven’t done much with the blog in quite a while, and I was shocked when I took a look two days ago. It was gone! Well, the content was gone. The page layout and headers were there, but the posts and pages had vanished.

A little detective work and experimentation revealed that the content was all still there, but that the template was broken somehow and wouldn’t display any of it. Switching to another template brought everything back.

My next task is to put back a fresh copy of the original theme. It was my favorite by a large margin and I had modified it to suit my needs.

At least I know I have a local copy. I have a habit of editing the theme locally and then uploading the changed files. I could edit directly by ftp, but that doesn’t leave backups on my local machine.

I have no idea what went wrong here. My first (non-technical) thought was that my site is feeling neglected and is starting to fire warning shots. I plan to give it some TLC before it vanishes completely
