Third time lucky?

I've just done something totally out of character - admitted defeat.  After my website was hacked twice, I've decided that life really is too short to struggle with techy stuff.  Yes, they provided loads of instructions about deleting files and restoring data, but I couldn't understand a word of it so, after several weeks and many-many cups of tea, I hit the delete button and returned to my first love - Blogger.
It seems to have improved a bit since I first used it, over eight years ago, so I'm feeling quite optimistic... at the moment. I just have to persuade my domain name to come along with me, and it appears to be a bit stubborn at the moment.  Since I can neither poke it with a fork, nor tempt it with a biscuit, it looks like I'll have to try some more techy stuff.  Aaaaargh!

In the meantime, I'm putting all the old stuff on here as fast as I can recover it from the strange backup software I'd installed, but had no idea how to get into.  Discovering that I had to unzip a gnu was somewhat daunting!  {Apparently 'GNU' is an operating system and a 'GNU Zip' is a popular compression format.  Who gnu?}
