Blogger is Back Up!

For those of you who may not know, Blogger (the site that hosts this blog) has been down since late morning yesterday.  For nearly a full 24 hours, all blogs were set to "read-only" mode, which meant that we could not log into our accounts and makes changes or new posts.  It also meant that no one was able to comment on any posts, either.

To make matters even worse, they had to remove many of the posts and comments that were made during the time frame directly prior to when the site when down so they could reverse some updates they had attempted to make.  Luckily for me, I was out of the house and unable to make any posts on Thursday morning, so I have not lost any content on my site.  I have, however, lost many of the comments on my Freschetta Simply Inspired Review and Giveaway.  There were 42 entries, and now I only see 7!  =(

I have seen updates that say they are still working on restoring all of the missing content, but I am unsure if comments will be included in this.  I am very sorry about this.  If you had entered, please stop by and see if your entries are still there.  I do not mind if you leave them all in a single comment this time.  I still have all of the emails from the entries, so they haven't been truly lost.  If you do not get to re-comment, do not worry, I should still be able to figure out the original correct order of entries, fill in any gaps, and determine a winner!

If you stopped by yesterday and tried to comment but could not, please head back over and enter now (and please someone let me know if you actually are able to comment now *I hope I hope*).

I will extend the end date of the giveaway until midnight on Tuesday May 17th because of this glitch, and will alert the winner on Wednesday morning.

Thanks for bearing with all of us blogger users during this very frustrating time!
