Loss of Data

In the midst of the long clean-up at timelines I had a hiccup on my home machine and lost the entire database i use to build the timeline pages. I'm working out a way to rebuild from the extant finished pages even though about half of them never made it into the new database to begin with.

I can automate most of the process, but there are a few things I will have to do by hand. like setting some of the link titles that go to un-pretty database names. An example is 'ireland_1700' is a database name but I set the title simple as 'Ireland' because the ireland-1700 is only used on the .. 1700 pages. Another example is when a person title changes or different version sof the name are uses, but still goes to the same item in the database .. Emperor Napoleon, Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoloeon, etc. all point to the same database name.

So some other projects I have will be put on hold while this goes on, I believe I will be putting everything in the same mySQL database I'm using to store the inline links information .. It should make things easier in the future, even though I have only a small experience with mySQL.
