Everything worked this morning. Suddenly, my page is gone. All customization lost. Apparently I'm not the only one. Check out the Google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Web_Search_Help-Personalizing/topics Some people are reporting their pages lost, then suddenly they come back, then suddenly are gone again. Perhaps Google is working on it and restoring from backups. One Google blogger had this to say: "Yikes! So sorry about this everyone... but thanks so much for coming here to report it. We're now in frantic-chase-down-this-bug mode here at the Googleplex, and I hope to have more info for you soon. For now, we're not entirely sure of this, but it's possible that changing your homepage theme might cause the problem. SO, if you still have your homepage intact, please avoid changing your theme until further notice. The big question I know you'll all want answered is whether you'll get your homepage back once we sort things out... and the really honest answer is that I hope so, but I just don't know yet." That doesn't sound promising. Wow… ok so ya they added new stuff. Everything worked this morning. Suddenly, my page is gone. All customization lost. Apparently I’m not the only one.
