Be a Hero. Save a blog. Use Bloggled's Blog Backup and Win an iPod.

Have you ever had this experience?  You are posting to your blog, click the publish button, and the very next thing you know the screen is blank.  So, you click back to your drafts and nothing is there, then you click your published posts and nothing is there.  At this point you are starting to think to yourself…oh no, what just happened?  As you continue searching your blog admin for information you see that all your uploaded images, videos, files, and everything is gone. 

 

Living through this situation would be enough to devastate any blogger.  Knowing that years of data about your person, family, or business is gone can be difficult to overcome emotionally, but even more difficult of a problem to solve.  If you haven’t backed up your blog recently, or ever, chances are your posts and everything else are gone for good.

 

This is the kind of situation that led Brent Ramey to the idea of creating Bloggled.com, “and to honestly save anyone in that situation the act of going insane.”  Bloggled.com is a blog backup company that is allowing bloggers to backup their blog for free as an introductory product to celebrate their official launch out of beta and as a holiday gift this season.  Bloggled is also offering multiple prizes to those who participate in their “Be a Hero, Save a Blog Contest” that is running through the day on Monday, December 15, 2008.  Winners can choose from either a 16GB iPod Touch, or a Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter Machine and it’s quite simple to enter.  All you have to do is one of the items below, but if you do more you get entered more times into the drawing…but you have to enter on Monday 12/15 to qualify so act fast, or should I say slow so I have a better chance of winning.

Baby blessing, halloween and Mission Conferance






Baby Casen Gary McKee on his blessing day. He was sooo good and cute, but about now he is saying "get me out of this blooming white baby tux" I am so proud of his beautiful mom giving me another squishible grandbaby.

Proud Pop Pop holding his namesake. These are the moments to cherish

Great Grammie Lois holding her 21st great grandchild.


Me and my cousin Pam at Jeremy Ranch Condo by Park City, We grew up like sisters (born 2 months apart) and have been apart too long. We had so much fun with our moms. We played loaded questions and laughed till we almost wet our pants, we watched "Emma" and cried, we went shopping at the outlets and out for yummy dinner--roasted vegie pitas and sweet potato stuffed canelloni in asiago cream sauce. Yum!

Aunt Shaunna and Mama Lois--sister-in-laws

Halloween is so much fun!! I love all the cute costumes. Everyone got in on the act.
Tough and scary--Kaiden, Keagan and Ethan.

Loveable little Cam Cam
My clever girls made a scary halloween dinner--these delectable little marshmellow spiders, green martians below. They were served with yummy soup in bread bowls that had brains hanging out the edges. a kids and adults delight

Every family needs a tinkerbell--Addie was the perfect one. She had a hard time trick r treating because of the many dogs in the neighborhood. She really almost took flight!


Believe it or not Gary and I are in this picture. This is our first mission Conference for the Church Employment Specialists. We are still learning the tons of stuff we need to know for this job, but it's great serving. So many great people to work with. Gary and I are the Employment Missionary Managers for the Heber/Midway valley.

Wal-Mart Greeters


Gary and I had to come up with the scariest costume we could for the Primerica Halloween party--so of course we went as Wal Mart greeters.  We really know how to frighten people.  When we asked the manager at Wal mart for some badges he really was a good sport about it.   I think he understood how really frightening that was.  I especially like Gary's hair fro.  I think I will NOT be a blonde--however Gary says he does like his women a little trashy.
