  Was attempting to learn the ropes, and decided to delete and start over. Accidentally deleted first page, I guess.

  Went back and tried to find my first post – and I get a 404 error now. Help?? Is there a way to start over from scratch??

  Do you mean you deleted your post or the whole blog? If it’s the blog, you’ll have to register a new one.
  Do you have a link so we can see?

  If this is your blog, then you just deleted the post. You can’t recover a deleted post (that’s why you got the 404, nothing’s at that address anymore), but you should be able to just start again with a new one. Try writing in notepad first, then just copy and paste; you’ll still have the text if it happens again.

  I have no idea what I was doing – but I logged in tonight and it gave me a chance to post a new entry… and everything seemed to just take care of itself.

  Thanks for the help!!
