EPIC Fail – Don’t Let This Happen To You
3 very long days ago an event of epic proportions occured that made the New Years Holiday season pretty much suck for a countless number of bloggers: A blogging platform, and all this data, was completely and utterly wiped out. No recovery was possible.
JournalSpace.com, now completely defunct and looking to sell it’s property rights, branding, etc (and perhaps open sourcing the platform) says it was “sabotage”.
Whatever the case may be, bloggers world wide are feeling the pain. Losing only a few entries that I’ve made historically on this (and a few other blogs) would really, really, really suck.
So, if you’re on a shared hosting environment and not servicing your own spruced up and pimped out WordPress where you can control the keys to your own backup and content… you’d better make that a resolution of 2009.
Cheers for not blogging on the suck.
thank god for WP-Backup!
hmm. i recently switched to tumblr. i love its simplicity and sexiness, for it is both simple and sexy. but i do love wordpress 2.7 and am using it for my photoblog (http://daviddave.com)… do i switch back to wordpress for my blog? John says yes.. but i lose my tumblr posts….
you can transfer… …
word.
i like honesty. it becomes you.
I accidentally deleted one post and its corresponding comments one time and was supremely upset. I cannot imagine losing my whole blog. That would be rough. (oh, after an hour hacking I got the article and the comments back. Man, I will remember to bu my datbase.)
"bu datbase" is best saying ever. thnkx.
haha, np.
Save early; Save often!
word. doing it right now.
I take it a step farther and type up my blogs on my local PC first and then cut-n-paste them into my blog.
Backing up your SQL databases is nice, but it's worthless unless you're downloading them to a local storage device also.
that's why you're awesome.
I don's say much of anything so I don't know that I would care.
How is that for honesty.
I use Tumblr.
