How To Scare the BEJESUS Out Of A Blogger

by
First off, thank you to all those who commented on my last post, I haven't published them yet but each and every comment meant a lot. It was a post from the heart and your comments were equally so.
And how can I not mention those who don't read the post and yet comment, thanks guys.

Thanks Prithvi and Arjit for trying to help on Twitter, I still can't reply though.

Moving onto what I really wanted to say,

Here I am, happy me, browsing away to glory and on a blog-commenting spree when suddenly the good folks of Google decide to have some fun with my account and blocked it.

I get a "your account has been disabled for security reasons" out of the blue and guess what happened,
I HAD A goddamned STROKE.

After going through my own version of 127 hours minutes, incessantly complaining about it to everybody who'd listen and trying hard not to annoy him or my BFF (for they have submissions tomorrow), I check back to find it activated and immediately publish a post just to prove to myself and Blogger that I can.

What a relief it is, you have NO idea.
I heart you, Blog.
Don't do that to me again.

How do I back up posts, anyone?

    Nice to see your blog back on track ..!
    A sigh of relief.
    Convert your blog into an eBook. Look for it on the web. May be this can help you.
    for example :

    Do you use the tiny url application? And you can back up your posts by using Blogger backup application :)

    Honestly at times like this even a minute seems like 127 hours :P Fact. The heartbeats get faster and its like everything's gone. That once happened when blogger decided to tell me I am not following any blog. I Literally died. :P I was like, where did ALL THOSE BLOGS VANISH!? :/ hahaha

    I have no idea about the back up thingy. I think you can download your blog posts?

    @ Ezazi, yes, please don't.

    @ S, awwww, you sweet little thing, you <3

    @ Adi, erm, what?

    @ Sonshu, it does:|

    So what exactly happened? What were the security reasons? Have you used the 'T' word or been anti-a particular nation that thinks it rules the world or used the 'b' word???

    @ PB, I'm not too sure... Might have been a glitch in the system, they never replied to my correspondence :|

    @ Red, I almost did:P

    @ Arpitha Holla, it truly is:P Had me scampering for my back-up-ing devices:D

    @ Chintan, hopefully, that issue has been resolved? Thank you:)

    @ Uruj, they might have changed address, that's usually the most common reason.
    :) and hopefully, people do love me that much to care as much:D

    @ Mark, you can say THAT again:D
