Thanx for the kudos G, but it really was a simple issue. Merely added a field that should have been there to begin with (categories table with a category name but no description) and then pull it into a template.
Harder thing was raping googles cache to recover data that should not have been lost if the host had done things properly.
Btw Nymphette, if you send me a list of the domains that you lost in the crash I can run the same spider for them and see what we can get back (at least before google shuts me out again...lolol. I love when they do that)
