ARGH..... *frustration* (could you tell?)

Jun 27, 2005 6 Replies

About a month ago someone very kindly sent me instructions on how I might possibly be able to unearth a link to my old website through some other site.... do you think I can find that information today? Nooooo! I just looked through all my old emails and can't find that particular one with the step-by-step on where to go and how to do it (no comments from the peanut gallery, Noreen! LOL)... and I normally hold on to old emails for a VERY long time, just in case I need something from them... it's a packrat's trick. ;o)



Anyway... could whoever was kind enough to give me the run-down on how to do it before, PLEASE email it to me again... and I promise NOT to lose it this time. I just want to see if I really can dig up my old website to have a look around again. ;o)

I suggested to you that you go to

Enter your old URL into the WayBackMachine. See what it finds.

Thank you, Jane! :o) I just tried and it couldn't find the old website. :o/ Of course xoom had been taken over by nbci, and now apparently there are no private websites through them anyway. :o/

Oh well.... a friend of mine (teenage boy who used to come to my IRC chat channel, in fact) zipped my website and sent it to me a long time ago. Now to hope that I actually managed to save it to a disk before the old computer died completely. If so, at least I'll have the base of it to start it up again on a different site sometime. If not... looks like I'll have to start from scratch and hope for the best.

Thank you again... I'm sure that URL will come in handy for looking up other sites. I am forwarding it to my email now... and storing it in a SAFE folder so I don't lose it again. ;o)

If you want to send me the URL I'll see what I can do to see if it's archived anywhere.

Jane

Okay Jane. I'd appreciate it if you could manage to find it anywhere... but I seriously have my doubts. Here are both the URLs anyway... the first one at xoom, and then the one when they switched over to nbci.

Like I said in a previous post... I'm almost positive that the zipped file that the teenage boy sent me contains all of this stuff, as well as all the individual pages... I just have to find what disk I saved it to (IF I managed to save it to a disk before the old computer died). If not, at least I have the main page stuff to start me out again. Thank you again for your help! :o)
