Is this my imagination? In going thru my blog list today it seems a bunch of them are missing their latest posts...as if someone came along and chopped the last one or two posts from each one. Assuming I have not dropped into a time warp that put me back two or three days, what's the deal?

Example. I check a blog yesterday that had certain posts. I go back today and the last post or two is gone. If it were just one blog I would assume the author was doing some editing. But it seems to be quite a few of them. This is creeping me out.

If they are typepad blogs, they are missing the latest posts. See info here and here.

Is your blog on TypePad? I know blogs on the TypePad service were rolled back by 2 days because they are undergoing some emergency data recovery on their servers.

Oh, phew. I noticed the same thing, and figured I'd finally gone mad.

Not my blog, but yes, the ones I was checking were most likely typepad. Thanks!

It looks like your blog is powered/hosted by Blogspot; they had an outage a while ago. Have you tried recovering your posts?

Mine's fine. In between finals and Christmas stuff I just haven't updated in a while. *blushes*

Nevermind...

That's really pissing me off. I got a big pile of complaint emails from readers of H&H today asking what was up. Both Wednesday's and today's post are missing. If their customer service wasn't so awesome, I'd have left by now, but the people are so nice and the price relatively decent, plus it's just good software.

Ah, I've noticed that too -- thanks for posting this and clearing it up.

/glad I stuck with Movable Type

I know that Six Apart recently hired a new director of operations who is just getting started there, and one of his immediate tasks is going to be to work out the inconsistencies they've been having in the last little while.

I know him, so I'm pretty confident in his skills and I think that their service is going to improve under his guidance.

It's back up.

Republishing did not do the trick for me (as they suggest) BUT, re-SAVING any "missing" post (it's all there in my Typepad app) restored all the other missing posts.

Still a littls slow, but I assume it's because everyone's jumping in there all at once.
