Boohoo!!! I mysteriously lost some of my HTML! I'm not sure how I did it. How can I get it back? (ASSuming I CAN get it back!) Help!
Gratefully yours,
Mark

HTML is the actual code that determines what displays on your page. Do you mean that part of your template is missing (ie the pieces that appear on every page)? Or do you mean that actual post content is missing?
What exactly are you expecting to see that isn't showing, and exactly what pages are missing it?

A part of my main template is no longer there. Because part of that template is not there, certain links will not appear on my main page. I am wondering if it is possible to retrieve that information.
Post content is not affected.

While Pixy's digging in the backups, it's worth mentioning that it's possible to add code to your template which can interfere with existing code (unclosed tags, for example) and will make it look like other code has disappeared.
Have you made any changes to your template recently? Exactly what part of the template is now missing? Have you confirmed that the code is actually gone from the template, or just that its output is missing from the page?
(Sorry if this sounds simplistic, I have no idea of your level of expertise.)

Paul: I don't recall adding or removing anything. A portion of my links and other goodies do not appear on the main page. The code itself is also missing.
