Well as the title states, I’ve lost quite a lot of this sites content. My site is powered by WordPress and for some reason one night last week there was a database error, OK no problem I thought, I’ll just reload the latest backup I have. It turns out the latest backup I have is from over 2 months ago, and roughly 6 weeks ago I made a lot of structural changes to the pages (but didn’t create a backup immediately, that’ll teach me!), including the free templates page, which is quite popular and where most of this sites 15,000+ unique visitors per month end up going. I’d had them (the free templates) organised into their own seperate pages instead of “blog” posts announcing them but thats all lost now until I get round to rewriting all of the content for them, oh well, it happens I guess.
For now though, if you want any of my free templates then I suggest you head on over to Open Designs and find your way to my user profile page. Not all of the free templates are listed on Open Designs yet, thats my fault for not uploading them all, so if you want any of the ones not listed then you can find them in the download directory on this site.
Anyway, sorry again if you’re trying to access any links from portfolio or free templates pages, I’ll do my best to get this sorted as soon as possible!
On a side note I’m always testing out Google Adsense on this site, something which I have not really used before on my personal site, but we’ll see how it goes. Any extra money to cover the hosting costs / hours of my personal time spent creating my free website templates can’t be a bad thing. So they’ll be showing up on various pages over the next couple of weeks and I’ll have a test run of about 2 months before deciding on whether to keep them up or not. Comments about them / ideas where to put them which aren’t too obtrusive are also more than welcome!

“Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research.”
So maybe I haven’t made the website completely pink.. instead I created a small banner that sits in the top left of the site, there’s a download link at the end of this post if you want to use it yourself, and it’s all to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer.
So are you or your company participating in this? How many websites will go pink this month, theres already a list of over 500 on the Pink For October website, if you’re site has gone pink and would like a mention in my post, feel free to leave a comment or email the link and I’ll insert it for you!
