Near crisis

I am so excited about my new blog space, so last night I was going to upload some more pics from my ofoto web site, where I have been keeping my pics for about 5 years. When I logged in, all my albums were GONE!!!!! After about 10 minutes of pure shock, I e-mailed customer service. Long story short, if you don't buy something from them every 12 months, they delete your pics....but not really. They told me if I uploaded and purchased even one pic within the next 7 days, they would restore all of my stuff. So, I quickly uploaded a picture of the house, and purchased it for $0.15 and my pics are supposed to be back in 5 days. Whew!!! Crisis adverted. I would have been devastated if I had lost all of my pictures. And, you are saying to yourself now...where was your backup? Good question. I will make sure I have one from now on.
