What a relief. I can post again.
Yesterday I received an email from Blogger saying my blog had been locked because it was identified as a possible "spam blog!" I had to "appeal for a review" online, which I did. I must say Blogger did attend to it quickly. I was only down for about 24 hours.
It said if they didn't hear from me in 20 days my blog would be deleted! Whoa! That got my attention. There are a lot of things I've written about that I want to remember. You know, posts that are really journal entries of the life of my family. Has anyone ever printed out their whole blog? Can you do that? I wouldn't want to print out the color template with every page. If I did it at home, that would be a lot of ink.
Has anyone printed out their blog or know someone who has?

I usually write my blog posts in either text-edit or Microsoft Word and then save them to my hard drive. I copy and paste the text to the Blogger template. That way I have copies of much of what I write. What I end up missing will be the links to other articles.
Did you find out why you got labeled as spam? I have a commenter who reads both my blog and my examiner.com site and seems to have nothing better to do than leave personal insults on both of them. I could see him reporting my blog as spam. Glad it all worked out! I would miss your blog!
There is alot of talk going on about Big Brother messing with the internet lately with regards to YouTube, etc. I have no doubt that this is probably something of what may have went on here..I'm sorry, but that is what I am coming to believe. Your blog title is a big red flag for the creep, as we know.
I am thankful for now that your blog is back and all I can say is we pray and keep onward little but strong lady..Soldier of Jesus Christ!

Welcome back!
I hadn't thought of 'losing' my blogs before. But you've prompted me to think about how I might back it up.
There's a way to print your blog in a book format - I need to research it, as like you, my blog is in many ways my journal. I use it for scrapbooking layouts (remembering what I was thinking at the time it happened) but I'd be devestated if I lost mine.
I think it is called Blurb.
I think if you go to Allison's blog (Totuus Tuus) you can get info. on making your blog a book . . . she mentioned it last year and could point you in a direction . . . I want to do that in October when my first year is done.
I got this message once too. Spam? Hardly. I've thought about trying to make a hard copy of our blog too, but 4 years of regular posting would be voluminous, to say the least! Mitzel Musings - www.themitzelfamily.blogspot.com. I think I'll check out Totuus Tuus and see what I find :) Glad to have found your blog! - Mitzels
oh what an awful scare that must have been for you.
I use to keep copies of all my blog posts and I would be really upset if something happened to them and I couldn't ever read them again.
It is possible to get the last three months in a reader or something like that.
If something happened to my blog, I would put the address into my reader and see what I could salvage.
Wow, that is scary. I do want to publish my blog somehow... it's my journal.
