Now I have two versions of the Census notes that won't merge. And the US Census template that I used did not convert nicely to be used on Ancestry.com. So now I have a third ugly entry to deal with. With 1500 names to examine for multiple Census entries, UGH! Before I go down the US Census citation clean-up, I'd love to see a template.D Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103918744384146074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-59798608240510634282011-05-17T06:49:19.880-05:002011-05-17T06:49:19.880-05:00Judy--I have a self-hosted WordPress blog, so I wa...Judy--I have a self-hosted WordPress blog, so I wasn't affected by the outage.Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-67890073129075204802011-05-16T23:52:03.915-05:002011-05-16T23:52:03.915-05:00I'd love to see what sort of template you put ...I'd love to see what sort of template you put together for the census citation!

To restore the template and all blog posts and comments, you will need to use the two backups that you make via:<br /><br />1. Settings - Basic - Export blog.<br /><br />2. Design - Edit HTML - Download full template.<br /><br />I hope that helps. It certainly got me out of trouble once!<br /><br />JudyJudy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-72786660986238913392011-05-16T12:35:59.630-05:002011-05-16T12:35:59.630-05:00You guys put me to shame.

I have been crushingly busy, and I was so far behind in my Google Reader that I was thrilled to hear nobody could add anything for a while.<br /><br />Does Blogger not have plugins like WordPress where you can have backups emailed to yourself? I'm reading all of this hand-wringing about how things were (or could have been) lost. My blog has a plugin that automatically backs up daily (and then emails the backup to me so that it's separate from the blog itself).Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-2012469871987568452011-05-15T16:26:07.230-05:002011-05-15T16:26:07.230-05:00Amy, I love your positive outlook!

It looks like all my stuff has been restored. <br /><br />Also, people who went to NGS wanted to get their blog posts published in a timely manner, so there was frustration there as well. <br /><br />I just thought it was funny that my initial reaction was, "oh thank goodness." I'm a little over-subscribed in the blog department. :)Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-21376133216463437552011-05-15T13:54:58.550-05:002011-05-15T13:54:58.550-05:00Amy, interesting about the reactions bloggers had ...Amy, interesting about the reactions bloggers had about Blogger being down. I was in Canada, and not totally aware, but like you, I would have welcomed the relief. I wonder why they just didn't prepare blogs in Word, and then when Blogger was up, transfer their post to it. Are these people not adaptable? Pretty silly and pretty sad. I would expect a little more from genealogists, or was it just they felt they had to write about it. Hey, this is a free service too. I could go on, but this is it.Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-59053310240655159962011-05-15T13:52:33.892-05:002011-05-15T13:52:33.892-05:00Yup, I could not update my blog.
