Back Up Your Blog
When I set up this blog, I chose Blogsome because at the time I had little experience with blogging platforms and it seemed to be easy to use and have the features I wanted, and for the most part, I have been satisfied. The one drawback I have discovered was the fact that it does not offer a way to back up your entries, and now that I’ve been blogging for nearly a year, I was a little concerned about losing my work. I was thinking that instead of just logging in and writing spontaneously, which is my current practice, I should start preparing my entries and saving them to my hard drive before posting them, but I would still need to copy and paste all my older entries over just in case something happened to my blog or to the site itself.
I was about to ask my VA to do just that when I decided to first check out the Blogsome forum to see whether there was an option that I had overlooked. I was very pleased to see that another user recommended BlogBackupOnline and even more pleased to discover that it is very quick to sign up and easy to use. What’s really great about it is that you get up to 50 MB of storage for free, and that you can back up multiple blogs within one account. Since I write for several blogs as well as managing some of my clients’ blogs, this is an ideal solution.
Hi Janet,
Because I write in both French and English, I write my blogs in Notepad first (to get the translation organized) then copy and paste them into my “blogspot”. This way I have a record of what I have done too.
