  Me too, everything except for one post on each blog is gone. Has WP said anything official about this yet?

  I’m curious: Are there good tools for exporting the content of a blog from wordpress.com? While I agree that it’s likely this will be fixed shortly, this is my first time with this sort of major glitch and it makes me want to back everything up. Any advice on backup/export tools would be appreciated.

  Add my blog to the roster of ones being weird. My posts seem to be there (knock wood) but the dashboard is definitely messed up.

  Argh! Me too! Everything’s gone but my About page… So it’s just a bug? Thank God, I thought a certain thief had got my site taken down. Nearly having a heart attack here lol

  Yah, its under Manage > Export. It only exports the text though, images etc youll have to keep backups on your HD or wherever

  Lucky for me I did this just 20 mins before my blog went down hehehe

  WordPress does have backups of the data that reaches the data center. However, just a short time ago bloggers lost the posts and their edits of posts when they clicked “save” or “publish” because the data did not make it to the data center. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=16996&page=2&replies=182#post-127045

  Hopefully all of you are backuping up your data by using an offline blog editor right from the moment you begin to write.

  Some of you bloggers have your usernames linked to your wordpress.com blogs and some do not. I’m thinking that it would be wise for everyone posting to this thread to post a link to the negatively affected wordpress.com blog.
