Yesterday, to my dismay, I discovered that the “Evermore” Wordpress plugin caused several of my posts to be truncated. The plugin was supposed to only truncate the DISPLAY of the post (on the homepage), but not the actual post data itself. On top of that, I have no backups, which is entirely my fault.

Two lessons learned:

1) Use plugins sparingly, and when doing so, choose wisely.

2) Yeah yeah, always have backups.

I’ve recovered a few by locating cached copies on the web. Otherwise, I’ll just have to make up for them with a lot more new posts.
