Lynn could use some advice on actually extracting the pages.
re the backups of lost pages: is there a MYSQL wiz in the house?

CJ Just wanted to make sure you saw this:

Its a “simplified” way to claim the rights to your books with the settlement administator.
Thanks, Todd. Saner than what they originally proposed!
? Do you need to back-up a DB or do you need to recover lost pages?
Has anyone piped up privately to Jane on the subject matter ? I am not a guru but I have dinked around (non-destructively) with MySQL on Linux based systems .
I have had to recover blogs after hacker attacks. What’s the question?
😆 if I even knew the question I could help Lynn, but basically we had more pages to this site than we now have. The “About Me”, “Genealogy”, “Writing for Fun and Profit”, and “Book Discussion” pages went byebye when I stupidly implemented the delete of the admin persona without redirecting the posts attribution to the new persona…Lynn has a backup as of last Friday on those pages, but does not know how to break them out. If you could go to Lynn’s blog http://www.lynnabbey.com/TheFaceOfChaos and offer some help we would be very grateful. We apparently have a backup but do not know how to break it into bits to get it up where it needs to be.
I can see them in the google cache thing. You just have to dig pretty deep into related links to get to them. I can get you at least a copy of your missing text so you could repost them (I’m looking at the ‘Writing for Fun and Profit’ right now), but the comments to them would be difficult to get outside of just one giant chunk since they were all posted by individuals.
Och, never mind. Try this: http://new.wavewithoutashore.cwgservices.org/?page_id=376
The comments have vanished, but it looks like your posts are still there. Just no longer tagged/linked/findable through regular means.

I hope that is the right one. It looked the most official of all the ones that used that word a lot.

A simple way to recover what you describe, is to go to the google cache of your site, copy the pages from there and re-post them. It’s not sophisticated but it works.
If it helps, I have all posts (320) and the majority (4k+) of the comments stored as the RSS Feed provides them.
