The Case of the Missing Blog & TGIF


Yesterday, I logged on to Blogger to update my post for today and, PANIC!, where did it go?

I guess Blogger recently went through a clean sweep of all of their blogs and got rid of any that had suspicious activity.  If this happened to you, here is a list of offenses that may have gotten your blog deleted:
- Affiliate marketing.
- Content created with scripts and programs, rather than by hand.
- Content or links referencing referral-based activities such as GPT, MMH ("Make Money from Home"), MMF ("Make Money Fast"), MLM ("Multi-Level Marketing"), PTC, or PTS.
- Content scraped from other blogs / websites.
- Copyright Infringement.
- Large blogs with multiple, unfocused / unrelated subjects.
- Links to Illegal Downloads / Streaming / Torrents.

I think my blog was suspected because of "content scraped from other blogs/websites."  I always post a picture from somewhere else (but I always cite the source!).  So, I think that's why it was deleted.

Anyway, if you have the same problem, post in the Blogger forum here with your blog name, location, and your problem (e.g. My blog was deleted!).  Blogger handled it within 24 hours...and my blog is back (complete with all of my saved drafts)!

So relieved.

Back to TGIF...
How excited are you to see this movie?!!!!!!


If Panem had a District 14 for fans, I'd be there with the other millions of people.
I'm going to see the movie tomorrow with my husband and our friends.  Date night!

"May the odds be ever in your favor!"
Happy Friday!
