While putting up a video in the post below this one, my blog started doing some really wonky things. I completely freaked out, since my template looked like an abstract version of this one, and attempted to remove the video.
In the process of attempting to edit out the embedded video, my blog started becoming possessed, and wouldn’t let me do anything to it. I was really concerned that somehow, during the embedding of this pointless video, I’d broken my blawg.
I started getting really angry.
There is a lot of crap on this blog. 99.9 percent of it is literally just crap. If I lose it, I might tear up a little. But, I’d get over it. Eventually.
But the only copy of the Story I have is on this blog. (Well, I do have it stuck in my old computer that is still broken…) I’m going to move a copy of the Story over to my external hard drive, RIGHT NOW.
Pee Ess - how does one back up a blawg? Will someone hold my hand, cuz I’m scareded of it.

I would be crushed if I lost all my entries too.
I have my blog backed up, I guess. Although I have no clue which part of that back up is the posts or what to do with them. There is a plug in tht does it… but apparently I don’t have it.
I am lots of help.

Use the wordpress backup plugin. It will backup the blog database, but not templates, pictures, or plugins. To do that you need to make a backup of your home directory from cpanel. Or just copy the contents of of the wp-content folder to your computer using and FTP program. Hmm, maybe I should try to figure out how to write a plugin that can backup that folder…

It’s not as hard as it sounds. If I can’t make a plugin to do it, I’ll make a video that shows how.

Miss Britt - You’re as much help as I am! I appreciate the thought, though.
Nobody - I knew there was a backup plug in, but didn’t know what it did or what I would need to do with it… (I almost understood the rest of this comment, but then got scared and closed my eyes.)
Blue - :exactly:
Nobody - Uhm, I’d love to see you make a plug in for it! Let me know how that works out. K? :teehee:

My programming skills suck, to put it mildly, so don’t hold your breath for the plugin! But I am going to at least look into it!
The backup plugin only backs up the database. So only the text portion of posts will be backed up. Since I host all my pictures on Photobucket, that would be good enough for me. But if you upload your pictures into Wordpress, it is storing them in the uploads folder of your webserver (I’m pretty sure its inside the wp-content folder, but I’m too lazy to look right now), which the plugin does not backup, at least the plugin I’m using doesn’t. It also won’t backup any themes, since those are also stored in the wp-content folder and not in the database.
Restoring the backups is a whole other matter. That would have to be done from CPanel.
