Well, it's more like "Stupid me!!" really.
Things not to do when cleaning up files on your harddrive...
- Delete important files
- Not notice and spend an hour trying to work out why your website is now broken
- Forget the format for the important deleted file
- Remember the file format, and then forget to put all the bits in while recreating the file
- Forget to take out all the debugging bits you put in while trying to work out what you'd done
It was all going so well up to that point. I'd got a nice easy way to add points to a Google Map, with the little pop up windows linking to a page about that particular place and a linking to pictures, if there are any. All the points nicely defined in a separate XML file. Which I then deleted because I'd forgotten to change the name after my initial experiments with Google Maps. Calling a file
test.xml might be sensible while experimenting, but it's not a good name to use permanently. Idiot.
