    I lost my blog, which was hosted by GoDaddy at the address aarontaube.com/blog, when I created a Weebly site for aarontaube.com and pointed my GoDaddy ISP toward the Weebly site. Now when I log in to WordPress, all of my blogposts are gone and the blog doesn’t show up when I visit the address. Can anyone help me recover all the work I did?

    Okay. Let me try to explain again. I had a WordPress blog that was hosted by GoDaddy at the address aarontaube.com/blog. You can see a cached version of it here. The blog was complementary to a personal website I had built at aarontaube.com. You can see a cached version of that site here. The original site was coded from scratch using basic HTML/CSS. I uploaded the files using GoDaddy’s file manager tool.

    In order to make a nicer website, I used a web service called Weebly. To make the new site show up when people go to aarontaube.com, I changed the A (Host) zone file on GoDaddy to one of Weebly’s IP addresses. So now when you go to aarontaube.com, you see the new, nicer website. However, when I did this, it wiped out my wordpress blog. Now, when you go to aarontaube.com/blog, you get an error message. Also, when I log into wordpress, it says that I have not written any blogposts.

    Does that explain it better?

    The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

    This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

    The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

    For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.
