Computer Died - Need to replace blog bookmarks!
« on: September 01, 2011, 10:21:39 AM »
A couple days before my wedding my computer bit the big one.  I've lost a lot of stuff that I may or may not be able to recover.  What I miss almost more than my photos are my blogs!  I've managed to find a lot of them again, but I can't remember them all.  Any suggestions for new blogs to follow?

is the hard drive completely dead? if not, you might be able to recover the lost links and photos.

Firefox will also let you back up and store bookmarks on their servers, so the next time theres trouble youll be able to get them back... Chrome apparently has this capacity as well

When I turn it on it says that there isn't a hard drive at all!  It's  been sick for a while and I was just hoping to get it to the UK.  The bit that connects the screen to the rest of the computer was broken, so I think its a connection issue.

If you remember things about the blogs you follow you can probably google enough to come up with most of the links. If you add them to an RSS reader you won't have to worry about losing them again. I use google, though it's far from perfect www.google.com/reader.

Yes, I am a google fan girl, why do you ask?

I was going to suggest this as well!

As far as new blogs to follow, what sort of blogs do you like?

I'm really into expat and UK centric blogs at the moment.  Some of the ones I have are:

http://www.tiredoflondontiredoflife.com/
http://www.smittenbybritain.com/
http://pigeonblog.wordpress.com/
http://londonist.com/
http://london-underground.blogspot.com/
http://londondailyphoto.blogspot.com/
http://www.georgianlondon.com/
http://bloodybrill.blogspot.com/
http://rwapplewannabe.wordpress.com/
http://www.athriftymrs.com/
http://hopskipjumpashley.com/

I also like stuff like regretsy, fail blog and auto correct fail. 

I think I'm going to have to look into this google reader thing.  Every time I move computers I loose a few blogs I like.
