Last night I tried to upgrade my blog.  There were simple step by step directions and it warned that I should backup my blog before I install the updates.  Instead of going through their lengthy back-up process, I just copied the files onto my computer thinking that’s all I needed to do.  The result: EPIC FAILED.  I lost my old blog completely and I wasn’t sure how to bring it back.  so I just started a new one. Enjoy.
