First off, thank you to all of you who replied. It was scary seeing all the things I worked for for 5 years suddenly disappear, and though I didnt reply to each of you individually....the support I felt meant a lot to me. Apprarently I wasnt the only one hit by this, the Carter site and "Census Online and other Diggins" went down as well, so if you had problems with them you might want to check their sites again soon. Wrote to tripod again yesterday and got this email this morning: >>Dear Tripod Member, We apologize for the removal of your site over the weekend. Due to some technical errors, we mistakenly removed several member sites and are in the process of restoring them. We did not single out you or your site, please accept our apologies, your site has now been restored.<< I checked the main page and everything seems to be in order. Thanks to all of you Kathy http://khuish.tripod.com/
