Blogging Tip: Backup Your Blog

Micah’s recent near disaster with almost losing his blog database reminds me of a great blogging tip: Backup your blog!

Here’s how with WordPress: Get the WordPress Database Backup plugin. This neat, handy plugin will email you a file of your database. I do this about once a month, but probably need to do it more often, especially considering I’m up to over 350 posts.
Here’s how with Blogger: The easiest way I know to do this is to have your posts emailed to you. This is how I backed up CCP before I switched to WordPress. To do this, in your Blogger Dashboard, click on “Settings,” then “Email,” and fill out the “BlogSend Address.” This won’t bundle everything like the WordPress plugin … but it does give you a record of each post.

    Cory,
    I was thinking about this a while back also and found some other great options…especially if you don’t have something handy like that Wordpress plugin…
