= Template Disaster =

OMG.

Did anyone noticed many differences in my blog?? All the changes I painstakingly did all over the months, GONE.

Just like that, GONE. Argggh!!!!

*Pulls hair in frustration*

I was just editing the template and pressed "save template changes". All looked ok as it chugged slowly...sooo slowly. I wondered why it was so slow (although this was not the 1st time my supposedly-shld-be-fast streamxy connection bugged me with its slow speed!) and after sometime, it must have jammed or something.

I tot, oh well, just make the changes again lo, no biggie. However, to my horror, when i refreshed the page, I found out that most of the page [downwards from about half of my links] was gone!!

Gone!! I nearly went out of my mind. There were a lot of links & add-ons from there onwards, you know...

Just thank goodness that I still left an old page unclosed so i used it to find those links and retyped (recopy & paste actually) the whole damn thing again. ISH!!!

But it took dunno how many hours to get the whole thing back again coz I had to use a new template again [I chose the same one again though coz the others I dun really like...] Whatever la. Just now saved a 3rd time after some changes and lo behold, the same old problem happened again!

=Aikz= Thank God I learnt my lesson ade and had saved a copy of the entire code in a file. Phew! Or else I'm sure going to an asylum ade.

*Brushes sweat off forehead*

Oh god. I do hope such a thing NEVER happens to me again coz it's quite painful. Eek!

Anyway, the lessson I'd learnt is:

• Always ALWAYS save any data that you're going to upload onto the net due to the extreme unreliability of the connection. And when u wanna press Ctrl+C to copy, make sure u're pressing both keys at one time. Coz there was one time I didn't press properly, only pressed C. Tada! I was left staring at an entire post consisting of only 1 alphabet only --> C. Die. But at least that wasn't so bad (also not the 1st time ade) the most is just type the post again. But losing the half the template, that's bad. *Sigh* Just my luck.

Anyway, I'll remedy the changes sooner or later. By the way, there are a few new changes that I'd like to make to my blog. They are:

1. Categorize my archives according to my own personalised titles, instead of dates. This is going to make things easier for ppl new to my blog, so they can browse thru their fav categories. But this is kinda hard for me coz the Blogger Help thingy is no help at all. I read thru the article, tinkered around, to no avail. I guess I'll just get someone to help me with it lo.

2. Put up a 'Classics' section in my sidebar. That'd be pretty cool too. That's quite easy, almost the same as linking other websites. No sweat. But first I'll have to see which of my posts are important or humourous enough to put up specially. Maybe u guys can suggest to me which that you find very interesting (or other adjectives)? Thanks ya guys!

3. Well, maybe also put up a disclaimer somewhere in my blog. Hey, I'm just protecting myself from whatever laws. This is important to my own welfare, right? But I haven't figure out what to write yet. Maybe I'll just use others' as reference lo.

That's all about the changes i wanna make. I can't think of any more at the moment. Let me go and think about it first. Hehe...
