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.

If you use WordPress, check out the WordPress Database Backup plugin (it’s what I use).
What backup solutions do you recommend?

I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution.
