The Curious Case Of The Disappearing Posts

If you click on this link, it will take you to the post, "Appreciating Fiction," dated Sunday, 9 November 2014. However, if you then scroll down the Blog Archive on the right of the screen, it will inform you that the earliest post for that month is "Settling Avalon," dated Tuesday, 11 November 2014.

So why have posts dated 1-10 November 2014, by my count sixty five of them, disappeared from the Blog Archive? Does anyone out there know the answer to this technical query? Blog Central is baffled.

I found "Appreciating Fiction" by searching for it. Thus, random thematic searches would eventually find other missing posts but this would take a very long time and in any case should not be necessary. We are trying to find somewhere online to report this as a problem.

The rest of today will be a medical appointment, a visit to the gym/swimming pool, preparation for a Latin class tomorrow afternoon and meditation group. Thus, maybe not much blogging. But I think we are finding that the blog never dies. Over 100 page views by 9.30 this morning.

Kaor, Paul!

That is odd, blog pieces dated November 1 to 11, 2014, disappearing from the right hand list for that year/month but still being found due to random thematic searches. I am far too ignorant, unfortunately, to give you technical advice. I hope you can find the missing blog pieces!

Trying to make out the titles of the books in the illustration. Top row, left to right: STAR PRINCE CHARLIE, PAST TIMES, KINSHIP WITH THE STARS, THE BEST OF POUL ANDERSON. Second row, left to right: EARTHMAN'S BURDEN, THE LONG WAY HOME, INCONSTANT STAR, WAR OF THE WING MEN. Third row, left to right: OPERATION CHAOS, THE CORRIDORS OF TIME, THREE WORLDS TO CONQUER, A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS.

But I couldn't decipher three of the covers.
