Hi Robert,

I had a very strong feeling that you would know how to do it.

Thats why I said "For those not familiar", as I know from questions I get that many do not know.

I don't know if the following will simplify it for you, Chuck.

Basically, open the 'html' tab rather than the 'design' tab when you click on the 'Edit' for a blog.

Then cut and paste the 'html' of your blog's body content, to whatever location is safest for you.
This may be a txt doc., notepad or even a Word doc. will do.

It means that you will now have the format of your blog in a safe place to cut and paste it back in to the 'html' tab area, should the formatting ever disappear again.

Hi Robert

I had noticed that this happened and contacted Bj right off... I haven't gone back thru all of my blogs yet...

but Bj makes an excellent point of how to make sure you can easily replace lost content... Actually, since this can happen while you are posting, it's a good idea to have the html or ubbcode content in notepad to begin... now, do I take my own advice? not often! (smile) LOL!

OK, I've now rehashed all my old blogs and reformatted them. I notice that they're all popping up through the Apsense Express once I've edited them.
If you keep seeing a lot of my blog postings in your Apsense Express today, I apologize and I figured that this was the best place for making known my apology for my prolific blog activity today.
It's also to let others know that this will happen when you go back and reformat all your blogs.
Give people a little room when you see a long trail of b

Hi Chuck,

All I can sugest is follow the instructions step by step and try it.

If you cant get it to work let me know and we will see where my instructions are failing.

Yukky, that's a bit of a nuisance.
I can see what I'll be doing this weekend (as if I didn't already have plenty to manage).
Ah well, that's life and it is good to have had another day above ground, with or without hiccups. :)

Hi Eric,

I hope its not going to happen again however I have as a precaution placed a copy of all posts into text documants, so if it does happen again all i will need to do is copy and paste back while in the edit mode.

For those not familiar with how to do this.
follow this Procedure


Select blog.

To make a back up.

I just checked and mine were DE-formatted as well.

Is this likely to be a regular problem ?

I'd rather focus on adding more content instead of Fixing up already published content.

The last time this happened the updates were meant to prevent it from happening again.

Hi Robert,

The only way to resolve the problem is to edit your blog posts and re do them.

You have the option to edit in the yellow box on the right of the page.


I had to spend a couple of hours yesterday going through all mine reformatting and putting the links back in.
