Somehow blog.mozilla.org/joe has disappeared, along with all of its contents. Not sure what caused this, but can it be fixed?

Maybe someone in IT has any idea what's going on here, or at least will respond within a month.

Hello Joe,

All older, personal Wordpress blogs that have not been updated in a year are being archived.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726135 for more details and background on this

We can re-activate it for the time being, or provide you an XML dump of your content if you wish to migrate it to a personal site at this time, but please note that we are currently looking into ways on how to migrate personal blogs from the blog.mozilla domains to WordPress domains in the next couple of months, so we will keep you updated. 

Following our Blog Guidelines in progress (in draft here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/One-Mozilla-Project/Documentation/Blog-Guidelines) we are working towards having only Mozilla team blogs under the blog.mozilla domain. 

We might either migrate your personal blog to a different domain or look out for a suitable Mozilla blog that you can contribute to. 

Hope this helps to clarify.

Yeah, please re-activate it. I'll migrate at some point, but until then it'd be nice to actually have access to my old blog posts.

Yeah, I was just bitching that my bug sat in the blog.mozilla.org component for a full month untouched by anyone other than me. :) I knew that IT would come through for me!

All done! Should be back to normal.
