That is really distressing information Shirley.
I'm a bit curious though.... when I create my web page, it is of course
created on my computer and THEN uploaded to the web page server. BUT - -
all the files, all the HTML files are still resident on my computer, so that
I can revise them or whatever. Anyhow, it makes no difference if the web
server crashes or what ever, the files still exist om MY computer and can be
uploaded again if necessary.
Is this not the way your works?.... or.... did you delete your files after
uploading to the server?
Anyhow, what you have said is a real bummer. I wonder if any visitors to
your page have copied all or at least some of your files, and might send you
a copy. Put out an SOS on your remaining pages.
Best of Luck, Jim
