Old Posts Lost When Blogger Was Down Are Set To Re-Appear Throughout This Week
Blogger went down around 2 weeks ago and i lost 2 to 3 days worth of posts. some of the posts were restored but unfortunately there's at least a days worth that were restored but not in a way which readers can access them. so i'm going to re post them over the week when it's quiet. i won't restore all of them in one go, they'll appear when posts normally do on the site. Some posts may have to be slightly edited before they re-appear so there's a chance they may look different. this appears to be a result of Blogger's restoration process.
