I think I messed up.

Wow, that was really close. I mean, hours of work on the line and I almost lost it all. Here is what I think happened.

I have multiple windows open when I am working, like most of you it could be as many as 10. And I always have more than one of my dashboard to the website I am working on open. I occasionally get confused as to what website window is what........

So today I was creating a page, and I hit update and while it was updating I clicked onto my other window and for some reason refreashed the page, and the refreashed page somehow loaded before the website had officially finished updating.

When they both finished I clicked over to my website and my heart sank! SOmehow I had created 2500 blank posts and published them! Oh crap.

It took me 20 minutes to delete, because the server didn.t want to handle all those pages at once, I dont blame it. SO i had to break it down into chunks.

Bottom line, I need to figure out what my backup solution is. I am sure WA has an answer. I wont ask yet because I want to research it myself first.

Thanks for listening. AW
