Do you back-up your WordPress blog?

Posted by admin on November 15, 2008

As a virtual assistant for professionals interested in maximizing their on-line marketing efforts, I spend a good portion of my day working on blogs. From design and creation to optimizing and writing, clients have me focus a great deal of time and effort on ensuring their blog is a true reflection of them and their company.

As I mentioned in my last post, I believe backing-up is vitally important and this especially includes the blogging work that clients have paid me to do on their behalf.

I have found the WordPress Database Backup plug-in to be the easiest and quickest means of backing-up each blog and all of its contents. This plug-in is free and once set up can be used to either e-mail the back-up file or save it to your desktop. From there you can treat it like any other file and back it up accordingly.

Since the blog software of choice for me and most of my clients is Wordpress, I am always looking for new plug-ins, tips, short-cuts etc. So please send any you have our way, and visit back often for more as they will be featured in up-coming posts.
