It's alive! It's alive!
My blog at sodsbrood.com has been resurrected from the dead, twice no less. After some more prodding of administrators via the site5 forums, my site was finally unlocked last night around eight o'clock. Within ten minutes, I had promptly, but accidentally, deleted the entire directory where my blog is stored, blog and all.
That deletion has to rank up there with the most stupid things a man has ever done while trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. I won't go into the details of how it happened. Suffice it to say, another shamefaced appeal to site 5 for help resulted in my blog being restored from a backup.
I haven't made up my mind yet about switching to WordPress. I like the idea of having both my Blogger blog and my b2 Blog available on one site, but the import from b2 looks like it is much more difficult and fraught with danger than the import from Blogger. After my little deletion fiasco of last night, I am understandably gun shy of tinkering too much right now.
Both b2 Evolution and WordPress have their advantages and faults--b2 has no ability to import from other blog tools, and WordPress does not support multi-blogs--but for now, I think I am just going to stick with b2 and enjoy the peace of a stress-free blogging experience...at least until the spammers find me again.

That's funny. Especially considering how you were basically dying for them to communicate with you at all!
And still trying to figure out whether to transition.... Ah well. At least you can do it at your leisure, knowing your blog is safe.
