You may have noticed that this blog and the Switchbacks.com forums have been down for the last couple of days.  I learned (the hard way) that the “Publish Web Site” feature of Visual Studio acts like a sync and removes folders and files on the site that are not present on the local computer.  Since the forums and blog are all stored on the remote server, this meant that they were wiped out by my actions.

Luckily, I was able to work with my web hosting company to get the deleted data restored.  Whew!

All in all, no real damage done.  Merry Christmas, everyone!
