So, today's title comes from a Madonna song. I was listened to a bunch of her CDs this weekend, and this title stuck out for me as a good one for today's post. As many of my readers might remember, I have two other blogs besides this one. First, there is The T. H. Weingarten Miscellany. It is dedicated to some of my literary works, including the first rough draft of a novel, okay novella. I really haven't posted much in it since I finished that work though. My other blog is the one for my book store, THW's Booknotes Blog. I set it up when I first started the website for my store, BookNotes. I was posting weekly for a few years. However, as business slowed down, a changed the frequently to every other week. Then, it was once a month. It has basically ended, as I haven't intentionally posted anything in it for over a year. Note the adverb "intentionally." Earlier last year, when I had to check out a tiny problem with compatibility with the site, I had accidentally switched the primary blog, this one, with the store's blog. I caught it later, but it was tough to correct. I had to copy and paste the blogs to the correct site before deleting them from my store's blog. I didn't want my personal information to be part of my store's site. Well, there was another problem last month, and the switch happened again. For three weeks, I had accidentally posted this blog's posts on my store's instead. When I caught the change last week, I immediately deleted the wrong posts of my store's site. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy the posts on this blog first. By the time I realized what I had done, it was too late. The posts were lost. I thought I was only deleting the posts from the website, but they were also deleted from the blog as well. Anyway, I have been trying to reconstruct the missing posts this past week. All three were topical in nature, so I had to repost them as quickly as possible. The first two were very hard to replace, as too much time had passed since I wrote the originals. Both ended up being barely half the original lengths. The third post was more recent, and I had the need to update it anyway. It still irks me that I made such a stupid mistake. If anyone had cached those posts, I would have liked to get the original versions back, but I know that that is a very long shot. At least I still have something for those three weeks.
