TIP: Getting Back a Deleted Post

Found yourself thinking: "NOOOO!!! I accidentally deleted a Blogger post! How do I get it back?!?!"

Easier to tag people, privacy settings pre-exist allowing who to see you in what pic through your profile. Why could it be wrong? Maybe someone you don't know happens to have your photo and it auto-tags you in.

Hey gaming readers!

If you are not aware, the PlayStation Network (PSN) which has been down for around 25 days is now officially back online, allowing 77 million gamers worldwide to play online once again!

In this post, we'll briefly look at the events that happened since it went down, and what to expect when getting back into online gaming via PSN. [UPDATED: PSN users have been offered gifts for the experience, see what this European user was given at the bottom]
