I can so feel with you - I mangaged to do what with the second version of my entire Dark Ages fansite www.aisling-spark.de (this is a very obscure but also old and cute online mmorpg which still exists) - the worse thing was that I collected creative posts from the boards in-game (this game rewards creativity) and when I had put them into the site, I deleted the original txt.file...
Some other players helped me to resurrect a part of the lost content, but some posts - written adhoc and not saved by the author - and my in-game husband Arne Gustaf Swanberg, I have never recovered - and they were so bloody perfect in-character, for the world and funny....
Ooooh, I did that once. Had a long, involved post, hit post and... lj ate it. I was so mad I had to walk away from the computer and I don't think I ever rewrote it, because I am petty like that. "You don't like my post, lj? Fine. Then you can't HAVE my post. btw, you suck."
I do find it interesting there weren't many genre fiction bloggers. I think romance might be the most popular type of book blog out there right now, so it surprises me they'd have so little representing that.
The one they had was The Book Smugglers. You know.. I think it just had to do with the organizers being general fiction/YA/children's book bloggers and so they know those bloggers over genre fiction bloggers. That would be my guess. Or .. BEA had SF and romance, but it felt like those books were less represented than fiction/YA/etc. I think romance and SF have their own conventions.
If you are a blogger who want to make something more of their blog in a professional capacity are going to have to be aware of their stats if they want to work with publishers and publicist. More visitors to a site means more paying customers.
But then again, only the blog owner knows the true number, seeing as the amount of comments left are very deceiving.
Yep, I think it's the most obvious way to know how popular a blog is and if it would reach a lot of readers. I need to figure out good way to get stats for the three blogs in ONE place. Maybe sitemeter? Must research.

Last night I was kind of going crazy trying to see if anything was saved in browser cache, but no luck. Oh well, it's rewritten.
