I'm Crystal Waters, publisher of scooterfix.com, girlbike.com and a few
others. In mid June 2008,I was doing what I thought was a routine server
move-around, and followed the backup directions just as I was told
by the super smart tech guys. However, when it came time to restore
all the files, all four+ years of scooterfix and girlbike scooter blog
files got smished. Or at least so messed up that those super smart
tech guys were never able to figure it out.
Some of my other blog-based sites
were also messed up in the backup, but they are more fixable. For example,
scoot|pink’s content was
all intact with the exception of all its images, but after a late night
and early morning repair marathon, most of them were replaced fairly
quickly. scoot|green’s may have had its design elements wiped out
but I had a full content backup. I also took advantage of the mess to
redesign it to match my other sites.
As for scooterfix, I have no estimate
when it will be up again. It’s
the busy season for scootering, and scooter seat covers customer orders
have to come first. My customers are who buy my groceries and help to
support this luxury of running so many scooter blogs simply for the love
of scooters and its community.
Thank you for your continued support and patience. - Crystal
