Erased blogs...SAVED!
Every last one of them.

I read my Slenderblogs on Google Reader, since my wordpress account got all wonky and I didn't want to continue following blogs with an inactive blogger account. While using it, I noticed something:

If something updated, if whoever updated it screwed up and deleted the post, it didn't matter. It stayed in the feed. I noticed it happening with blogs that were currently updating, so I wondered if it would work with blogs that had their entries erased before I started following them.

It did.

What this means is that a ton of blogs that were thought lost to the ages are now completely accessible again. The early White Elephants posts, one of the most influential blogs of all time, are all still on Google Reader. Para-Not-So-Normal, a blog that I personally wasn't a huge fan of but was a favorite with some creators, is still on Google reader. And CUT!, the first real humorous blog, which was deleted before most people even had a chance to read it, is still on Google Reader. All these blogs that were lost are again accessible.

I'm wondering what blogs you all would want recovered, and where exactly you'd like me to post these lost entries. There's one problem, though: if a blog has been deleted entirely, I can't salvage it. That means that I can't recover A Lack of Lexicon or No Escape From Reality (for humor value, of course). It's unfortunate, but it's a problem I can't solve.

All of them. Honestly, I would even be of assistance for you, Sir.

It'd be nice to have the old White Elephants stuff back. And, I remember hearing about a blog called CUT, which sounded amusing, but it was gone before I got to see it. So, if you had that, it'd be nice as well. c:

I'll admit it.

I squealed like a tweenage girl when I heard this.

MADE. OF. WIN.

Nice find. I was just looking over CUT! again and see it worked very well. The only downside is I don't think the tags can be recovered, but that can't be helped.
About where to collect them: Maybe a wiki of some kind?

Quick. Someone get hard copies on their drives, just in case.

I do run Slenderbloggins, a Slender Man fansite, so I'd like to get them up there somewhere. The problem is, that'd maybe take a while. A wiki might also be a good idea. A temporary blog in the meantime? Anyone have any ideas?

Because I am apparently stupid and can't figure out how this actually works, turns out I'm forced to beg as well.

Links won't be possible because the posts are in the cache of Ladybug's Google Reader account, as detailed in the OP.

Which means that Ladybug's best bet is probably to just copy-paste everything to a text file and throw it up somewhere.
