Subject: 20 blogs in my dashboard have been deleted...why?
Yesterday I logged into my dashboard where I would normally see 20 or so blogs. I was shocked to see ZERO...not one!
So, I checked the blog addresses and the 404 message that blogger puts up when there isn't a blog at that address showed up. All of my blogs were deleted.
If someone else had taken that blog address (which they could have) I would have lost them all. FOR NO APPARENT REASON...blogger won't return my emails or answers these posts.
I checked to see that I complied with bloggers terms and conditions to be certain. No violations.
So, 2 years of blogging down the drain...and no response from blogger.
My advice, beware, at any time you may lose the content and address of your blog....arrrrggggghhhhhh.....

Ok. Well thanks for responding. I appreciate that you took the time to return and post.
But that answer is not being truthful. I had 45 blog addresses in my dashboard. 20 or more had content. Of those 20 here is what the blogs were about...
1 blog about flying - a personal blog with 100's of photos (some mine
and some sent in from viewers) - NO TERMS OF SERVICE broken 1 blog about my experience with a car manufacturer - Toyota - NO TERMS OF SERVICE broken
6 blogs on talking about my experience playing poker - if...I mean if this is the violation of you terms, I cannot find it.
1 blog talking about how to set you your home poker game....what did I violate hear??? this makes me laugh.
3 blogs on talking about charitable gift and trust funds....ah...so what did I violate??
Now the rest I am still piecing some of them together...
1 computer tips blog
1 buying a car blog
...this just frustrates me that you deleted them all!!!!! What gives? Is that your policy...to delete everything??? if you think I violated your terms with a blog or even several...why not email me...freeze my account and let me see what you are talking about.
...but no you deleted all of them. This is clearly wrong. Did you ever think that maybe I was not aware that I was violating your terms??? Which I still believe I wasn't.
I don't expect you to expand on your explanation, as your response what very vague. You obviously don't care, otherwise you would have given me some more explanation.
I have been a very big google /blogger fan for many years...seriously. I have told many people about the many things that google and blogger have to offer. but Not anymore. This neads to hit DIGG and all the other large social networks. You have clearly made a mistake. Your actions have shown me another side to google and blogger. If you now how much time I spent on those blogs you will understand when I say that my efforst will be just as intense spreading the word about your actions.
disappointed, Bullseye

The original poster seems not to have much luck with his blogs being restored.
Perhaps he was a bit too impolite, a bit rash in his postings, but wouldn't you if you just lost 2 years' more of work? I sympathize with him, but at the same time, perhaps I ought to play nice, to get this to work between us. (Blogger.com and the blogger/me) Despite all the frustration...
... but then this guy got his blog restored. I guess there's still hope.

Hey thehomelessguy,
I have found out the hardway that blogger employees do not respond kindly to pent up frustration let out in a post. I was guilty of this and they sort of ignored it. I deserved it I guess.
But keep inquiring and hopefully you will get the help you are looking for. Although I have changed my tune in my posts it still hasn't changed the responses from the blogger employees. Maybe they didn't have any intention of explaning to me why my blogs were deleted. I don't know.
...best advice is to keep asking but not in a rude manner. I do understand your frustration though.
Blogger is a free service and we should understand that, but it's hard when you work hard on something and one person pushes a delete button and gives not explanations. Nor allows you to have access to the other blogs or allows you to remove whatever they think violates the terms and conditions.
True.
