Yeh, Today I got to replace 'God' with 'Google'. I am really really should be thankful to Google.
I used to blog on various life style, culture and postivity of people around at my 'positiveblog'
which was unfortunately hosted on a very bad blog hosting site called www.mblog.com.

I can say...This is one of worst business tricks I have ever found online till the date. Mblog hosts
SixApart's movableType blog engine (re-branded as mblog which is illegal again...). They have started
it very decently with out giving scope for any doubt, and managed it well, gained lot of contributors
just like me to host thier blogs on mblog.com. But suddenly it has closed it's doors with out even a
single notice to it's users.

So how to get my blog back ?

well...Mblog wants 35 USD to retrieve your blog back :S...despite of the fact you can get this content
with a single dollar by tampering the querystring of the paypal redirection . But why should I pay mblog.com
to get my own authored content? It is just like buying my own book for 35 $. Mblog has closed even RSS feeds
for all the blogs hosted there.


 Yes...Google is there..right?

Then I have tried to retrieve my blog entries through Google's Cache...Amazingly with a simple advanced query
i got all of my blog entries back to me. I love you google...(bit more now onwards...).

All i got to do is : Search google for my blog name by giving the domain name as "mblog.com" voila google...You made my day.

The Query is here
