I suppose I need to find ways to backup my entire blog (YEARS worth). I don't see way to get all the images I have stored on Picassa backed up in total and in order so I'm going to have to trust to the gods on that one.
It this blog does in fact disappear I WILL RETURN in some capacity (and likely with a slightly altered name) but it will likely be on another blog host like wordpress or tumbler etc.. but for now I'll ride this pony as far as it'll go.
It must be a curse. I was actually bragging to a friend about the reliability of blogger/google yesterday. Go figure.
