I have seen this on a number of sites but thought I too would pass it along.
If you are like me you may have written a number of blog posts on another site called Bubblews.
Recently that site has shut down. In my case there are over 2000+ articles that I blogged about. However you can still get them.
1. open a new tab and go to Google.
2. Search for your username you used on Bubblews and then the word Bubblews with ' between the two. So for example, I was escottf8136 so I would type 'escottf8136 bubblews'
3. Search for this
4. you should find something like my image
5. Now notice the green arrow that points down. Click this and the word "cahed" should appear. Click this.
6. Your post should appear.
Just so you know it may not always work on all posts. but for the most part I hope it helps you find your old posts.

Unfortunately I can't get to any. All of the ones with a green arrow just take me to a rather sparse page that says there are no posts to load!!! Never mind. A lot of my stuff was somewhat of it's time and probably wouldn't really be re-usable.

If this is not working for you, you might use this link: and put the link to your bubbles into the search bar. This works for some bubbles, but not for all. This cache only holds bubbles written from Jan. 8, 2013 until Jan. 8, 2015. If your bubbles were written before or after this time, you cannot retrieve them.
I just checked and none of my bubbles are still located in the cache for WayBack Machine. I hope you have better luck than I did. (I actually kept copies of my bubbles on a flash drive, so don't need to use the caches to retrieve them, but I was using the caches to let people read my work online until a little bit ago when the cache was cleared of all my work.)

Okay after reading the comments, I got it. I found my articles, but what to do next? If I copy them and paste them here, it won't be considered my own work, even though it is, right? I can't remove it from Bubblews, so it would be stolen work, am I correct?

Will try this out- but a big question remains- what happens to posts of such no longer functioning sites? Who owns them? Or are they free for all?

Well, I was only able to retrieve my introduction and the last post I had made. That is something though. I had made two or three other posts but they appaently weren't cached. I am grateful for the one I was able to retrieve though since it was my favorite. It is just a shame that nothing ever happened over there. There was never any interaction so you had no idea if anyone was even reading what you wrote let only if they thought it was good writing or not.
Anyway thanks for the work around.

I am sure many people will find that very helpful especially because many wanted to reuse the articles elsewhere. I just don't know if it is okay to do which is why I never bothered in looking up any of mines although I have copies of all the ones I really wanted.

Are we allowed to post some of our old Bubbleposts here?

Ohh my..I just learned about this today. I stopped posting there since a year ago but I would also want to get my posts. Might reuse them. So sad bubblews is gone.

@esfes025 It is fortunate I made sure I got all my posts from Bubblews into myLot, thanks be to God. As soon as I found out how unstable the site was I made sure to get all our articles. Thanks for the help though, I am certain they are those of us who may not have gotten their post from Bubblews. I was so hoping they would get their act together, but what are you going to do. Do you know of any other websites that are like myLot? Hey have a blessed Thanksgiving too.

I tried it. I just kept getting redirected to the "We're outta here" page.
