i am thinking now that god simply does not want me to have archives. all those things i said were just too much. or something.

but i miss them already.

there seems to be no way to re-import them. oh, if i hadn't been an ass and instead of copying 1200 php files i'd done the right thing and hit EXPORT... well we'd all be drinking gin and tonics on the beach by now. i like the idea of starting over with the templates and such - that's a bit overdue, but all the words, the drawings, god knows what else is missing.

i have it all, or i believe i do, but at this point having archives means editing all 1200 of those files by hand. which also means that i've probably lost the comments.

advice welcome. but if you just want to tell me that i'm an utter loser for not paying attentionn before i hit delete, well, i'm clear on that.
