Hello,
Posted 21 Feb 2009 at 10:29 ¶I have a Wordpress blog. How do I back up a blog? So far I’ve been making sure I have Word Documents of the text from my posts but this is clearly starting to look insufficient now that I have about 70 multimedia posts (smile).

Over at Facebook Bootcamp for Geneabloggers, I posted about backing up with Wordpress:

I will email this to you as well Evelyn. Thanks!

This is an update backup post to one I did in August for a Geneablogger Carnival.
I had a backup lost back in the floppy disks days and was determined not to have that happen again!
