Expired?

So here's the back story on the blog. Every so often Google who own blogger/blogspot run algorithms on blogs in an effort to try and pick up spam blogs. These blogs are then immediately 'deleted' (blogger does actually keep a copy of them for awhile at least) Unfortunately they (often by the sounds of it) get some false positives and so innocent blogs also get deleted... which is what has happened to me. Either that or in some way I have managed to violate the terms and conditions of blogspot.... about the only way I can think I *may* have done that is with a naked baby picture- child porn???

Anyway once deleted you spend hours trolling the 'help' files, join the 'help' group and look at various articles on various blogs written by other frustrated bloggers. You enter details into a online form and you wait and hope. And hope and wait...and field emails from various friends and family... and far and away Google/blogspot does hmmmm... nothing it seems...

...and then you miss blogging and so you set up a new blog... I will most likely transfer these posts over to SSR if I ever get it back and YES I have set in place a back-up system for this blog that I didn't have on the last one... and YES I will be absolutely gutted if I don't get SSR back.
