 * Hi Everyone,
 * My web host had a hard drive malfunction that totally wiped out my blog, and 
   being the awesome host they were, also weren’t running backups. So I had to restore
   my blog from my own backup which was months old.
 * I changed web hosts, and restored what I had of my blog onto a new server, but
   I’m missing the last 3 blog posts due to an out of date backup. The missing posts
   still show up in google reader with broken image links.
 * Is there a way to re-write the posts in wordpress and have google reader think
   they are the same old posts. I don’t need to change anything, I just want the
   old posts back exactly how they were originally.
 * My blog is here:
    paperphotographs.com/blog
 * I would really like to be able to fix this. I use the facebook comments for wordpress
   plugin which I would like to sync up with the new posts so that all the comments
   made on the old lost posts on facebook are not broken.
 * Any ideas on this?
    Thanks everyone!
