Friendly Reminder – Back Up Your Website!

When was the last time you backed up your website?
Trust me – as I learned yesterday – stuff happens!
It took a chunk of time to troubleshoot, resulting in a site outtage here. But I knew that, worst case scenario, I had the option of reinstalling the blog from a recent backup. And, as it turned out, I ended up using that option.
So, learn from my (almost) mistake and take a few minutes today to back up your website. Better yet, set up regularly scheduled backups while you’re at it!
If you use WordPress, check out the WordPress Database Backup plugin (it’s what I use).
What backup solutions do you recommend?

See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: I only have eyes for Moo!
I’ve previously shared my crush on a blog. Now it’s my turn to share my crush on a company: MOO.
When I first cast my eyes on MOO’s cutesy little StickerBooks – little booklets of vinyl stickers made from your own pictures – I went weak in the knees. [click the star graphic to read more]
