Dear Blog reader
This has been a very bad tech week for our website and Whale Tales Blog. Following the crash of the website earlier this week, we were able to recover the data with the assistance of our webmaster Jan Laubscher at 406Media, and our American server Host Gator.
Just after I had reposted the 10 days worth of blogposts, which I had received via RSS feed emails, and luckily not deleted (fearing such a day to come, even though it has not previously happened in our 6 years of blogging!), all this work disappeared late yesterday afternoon. I have not been able to receive feedback from 406Media as to how to secure our blogposts going forward, to prevent this from happening again. Frustrating is that Host Gator does back ups automatically, but with a 48 hour lag, which means that all the reposting I did on Thursday and yesterday has been lost.
I will slowly repost again, and have added ‘reposted’ in the headlines of the blogposts I am posting again. I apologise to our RSS Feed subscribers especially for seeing some of these posts for the third time, and beg your indulgence and understanding.
We sincerely hope that this will be the end of our technical hiccups. Thank you for your loyal support of our Blog.
