I don't know if anyone has ever had this problem, but anyway, if your blog is missing from the dashboard because "it has been deleted" - either by you or by someone else (you laugh at me now, but when my blog went missing I was pretty sure someone had deleted it - really appreciate
Sanjeev not laughing at me), you can still restore it within 90 days. Blogger keeps the blog kind of on hold during this time, and it's supereasy to restore it - just as supereasy it is to delete it. So here's how you do it.
 |
On Dashboard - select blog to delete - go to Settings |
 |
Settings - Basic - Click on Delete Blog |
 |
Click on Delete This Blog and you are done with the deletion - Export It option allows you to save a copy of the
blog in case you need it for anything. |
Now to restore this blog that I just deleted - here's what I would have to do (I had deleted this blog earlier so pls don't stare too much at the dates)
 |
After deleting, this is what the Dashboard would show. Two blogs intact, and the deleted blog is missing. Click on
Show All option to see the deleted blog (this has to be done within 90 days). |
 |
Clicking on "Show All" brings up the blog that had been deleted (I have two blogs here since I had deleted 2 and all
this was done earlier - just ignore the other one). Click on undelete to restore the blog back to Dashboard. |
 |
That's it - Blog back on Dashboard - Again, this HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN 90 DAYS of deletion. |
Again, this is not what happened when my blog went missing, but this is like a checklist. If unfortunately, your blog goes missing, check to see if the Dashboard shows a "show all" option, click on it and check if you blog has been accidentally deleted. The "show all" option or some other similar message will also be visible if your blog has been deleted/locked by Blogger for any Terms of Service violations. In case of a locking by Blogger, clicking on
Restore (I don't have images for this, but it would be there somewhere like how Show All is) will direct you to the procedure to be followed if you want to appeal Blogger action.
At any rate, if you go to Dashboard and find that your blog is missing, take a deep breath and look around. If you are extremely lucky, and your blog did just get accidentally deleted, you do a happydance and just restore it back. Restoring a blog locked for Terms of Service violations, now that is a different story all together, and I might do some research and try to put up a post or at least some reference for what that would involve. However generally, a normal honest blogger really shouldn't be worried about TOS violations - if you take pictures from other sites,
ask their permission beforehand AND credit the source, write original content, and that should be enough to keep you safe :)

ReplyDeleteBlogging is a curious thing. It fills our lives on a day-to-day basis and fills a void. You wake up everyday thinking about writing something new, expecting new comments, and new fun. It's so much hard work doing this and that, and trying something to make your blog good all the time. And suddenly if your blog is gone, it feels as if somebody in your life just died. Somebody whom you loved so much is suddenly no more in your life.
You put it so well - that is exactly how I felt/feel :|
