Things went poorly last night with my attempt to add a new page to our website to advertise the new art cards. My wireless mouse was spazy, I cleaned it but it didn’t help...very frustrating. Then messing around trying to find a tool box in Fusion7 (the software I use, which I still don't know how to use properly) I clicked on an area that I hadn’t seen before and after I did it, I lost everything that page. :::oops:::
The only thing left showing was my background color and a master border. I didn’t freak out immediately, because I just thought it was something that I could just reset--ya know a toggle type setting? But then I checked out a few of my other pages and they were blank as well. Then I clicked away all over my site trying to fix whatever I did and made a BIG mess out of it.
After awhile I just decided to pull out a backup CD and reload my site. The last time I saved it was about two weeks ago. I haven’t added too much recently, so I knew that would be my best bet. After an hour of going through all my CD’s I couldn’t find a current backup for it. I KNOW I saved it, but it wasn’t on any of the disks. I went to bed depressed.
This morning I found the CD in my stupid backpack (grrrrrr) I reloaded my site so I’m a little happier now. I’ll have to add some updates that were lost, but all is ok. phew. What a wasted night though, and tonight we have a Kings game to go to so I won’t be able to get the “Card” page up til’ this weekend. Ok, that was a very boring post, sorry.
It’s Friday!!!

Oh the wonderful hair pulling adventures of building a web site, you gatta love it. That's the only way I learn my way around the beast. Your cards look great btw.

Just a thought.
Take it easy, it IS Friday after all!
Thanks Naomi, ya, I need to read the Fusion Manual a bit instead of just clicking away helter skelter!
...and Jenny, I did changed the battery. I think what's happening is that my keyboard gets in the way of the "infa-red thingie" and so it doesn't get a good signal? ---you know, tech talk...:)
Yes! it IS Friday!
that was a bit boring, but no worse than me talking about sinus issues. Glad you found the back up CD.

Posted by: Joe on November 14, 2003 08:07 PMHmmm... Maybe I should just teach you to hand code the site, -no?
Posted by: dan on November 14, 2003 09:02 PMwhew! Thank goodness you found the CD.
I've been using NOF since v.3, and I still learn something new all of the time!
Lori, have you visited the "GotFusion" site and the BB?
xoxo
Thanks Joe.
No Dan...I don't wanna learn hand coding !duh!
and Kitty, No I haven't visited the GotFusion site (yet) and I don't know what BB is?
