So I’ve been thinking of adding two new sidebar items to my blog page. After drawing check boxes in Photoshop all week, one is going to be a list entitled “How I Used My Masters Degree Today,” and the other is going to be “Useless E-mails of the Month.” This e-mail arrived in my inbox yesterday, in response to my request last week that my template be restored after Blogger apparently ate it:

Hi there,

I’m afraid you’ve fallen victim to a bug in our system which occasionally loses template data. Your posts are still safe, but unfortunately we were not able to recover your template for you. To use one of our default templates, you can click the Choose New Template tab on the Template page. This will let you publish your blog again while you recreate your old template. We apologize for the inconvenience and we are working on getting this problem fixed. However, it is always a good idea to save your own copy of a template if you make extensive customizations.

Thanks, Steve

Why thanks Steve! I bet you wouldn’t mind if Google “occasionally” lost your paycheck and couldn’t recover it for you too! Even better is if they suggested you be paid minimum wage until they refiled all your employment paperwork!

Note to self: Get new content management software, stat. No need to suggest what I should be using, I’ve already heard all your opinions.
