Grr…spammers strike again…but Google saves the day!
It’s not enough that spammers have attempted to post 30,426 spam comments on this blog, they also – I just realized – set up 554 user accounts. I decided not to take my chances, so I dutifully deleted all of the user accounts except for mine.
That’s when I remembered that I had set up an account for Laura…you know, right around the time that I hit “delete” on the last batch of users.
I don’t know if anyone else uses a blog this way, but for me, at this point, this blog represents the closest thing to a comprehensive record of what we’ve done over the last few years as I have. So needless to say, I was a little upset to remember that Laura had used her account to put up some posts when we were in France with Ethan.
That’s when Google saved the day! Since Google caches just about everything, I was able to find all of the posts on Google, then re-post them to the site. A nerdy bit of time spent, but it saved one of my favourite shots on this blog (reposting the picture for good measure!) which – I think – was the exact moment in Ethan’s life when he fell in love with trains…yup, the shot of Ethan on the TGV to Lyon.
Thanks, Google!
n.b. I also love that Wordpress lets you backdate posts!
