Happy to read your replies !
I googled the title of the post which was "Welcome to Scotiana.com" but did not get it to display on the search results pages.
Went to archive.org but the blog is too young for this site as we opened it on May 12th 2009
So, I guess I am left with the database restore option as Linda mentions. Ok. Since I had not yet implemented a scheduled back up procedure for the blog, I will call hosting company and see if they have a back up, and if so, ask if it is possible to restore it to an anterior date.
Many thanks for your guiding lights pointing me in the right direction.
All the best
