Dearest Blogger

I've been away from this game for some time now, and you've got all sorts of new things for me to play with.

So play I did.

I thought those long hours spent at the computer, the sore back, the grainy eyes, were well worth it when I saw the results - a list of my favourite blogs all lined up for me, and sorted by when they were last updated, no less! 

I was impressed.   So impressed, in fact, that I deleted my old Blogrolling lists.  "I won't have a need for these pesky things anymore", I thought, my dear Blogger.  But I was sadly mistaken.

In trying to create a beautiful, serene, hopeful, mystifying place for my visitors and myself to dwell in, you asked me a simple question...  'do you want to keep your widgets?' 

'Why yes!' I thought, 'How delightful of you to ask'.  And like a fool, I clicked that button, foregoing all the precautions that a clever girl like me usually takes. 

"Backup, backup, backup" - has been my motto for many a year.  "Do a test run first", has crossed my lips many a time.

But no... when faced with that fateful question... I clicked yes.  And ASSUMED, dear Blogger, that you would also keep the CONTENTS of those widgets...

WTF HAPPENED TO MY BLOG LISTS!!!!  AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!

Now, if you'll excuse me, i'll be off to try and remember the names of fifty or so blogs that I have visited these last couple of days.   Please, please, PRETTY PLEASE, internet explorer, remember them in your history....
