Lesson Learned

So for the past hour and a half I sat here freaking out trying to figure out what went wrong with my website.

I tried to change the theme to my website and after activating the new theme I kept on getting an error message. I wasn't able to sign into the admin area as well because I kept on getting "fatal error" message.

Obviously panic set in because I didn't save ANY of my work (even though my husband kept telling me to save my work while I was writing the articles). I figured I will save my articles once I got a few more going. It wasn't just the articles that I was upset about, it was all the hours that I put into the website and the all-nighters I pulled writing the articles that was making it so hard for me.

Thankfully my husband was more composed than I was and started working through hostgator and was able to retrieve my website. Even though its not fully functional yet, I am sure I can live with that because I have my articles back.

Did I learn my lesson??? YES I did. Hopefully I am able to send a message across to everyone to PLEASE ALWAYS SAVE YOUR WORK on something other than the website. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through the past one and a half hours...it wasn't a good feeling.

So now I am going to pull another all-nighter making up for the hours lost.

I try to save at least once a week. Sometimes I let it slide

The lessons learned are the good ones. You usually remember them. The lessons not learned are the bad ones because you get to repeat them and that is bad. Have a good all nighter.. You will be ok just don't quit and follow the lessons.

i'm glad you were able to retrieve it.

I have a backup plugin.
