jackHm. I think I've reconstructed what happened. As far as I can recall:
1. I created an initial test site on my laptop, which was sync'd to the NearlyFreeSpeech serves.
2. At some point I switched to using the copy on the server as the master copy, editing it with FTP
3. And created a dev and live version of the site, so I could test on dev, check in, and then check out in the live version
4. Real life intervened, and I let some things break, and then didn't renew the subscription for ages.
5. The whole site is deleted (the FAQ says it's deliberately deleted permanently for privacy reasons).
So, that's that. I'd still like to redevelop it: the earliest versions of the openID and login code exist on my laptop, and the rest of the architecture needed rewriting anyway, but I'm very annoyed to have lost the database structure and the HTML design.
I know it's unlikely, but no-one has any helpful suggestions do they? (Other than "always back it up on physically separate AND logistically separate machines" even if only occasionally, which believe me, I definitely agree with.)
If I do redevelop, I'm undecided between making another HTML/PHP site, or plunging into something specifically designed for this sort of thing. Any opinions? (Is there anything that aids the graphical design whilst meeting my idiosyncratic standards of non-inanity?).
