I have learned a lot from him and use him as a mentor. I always would call on Jay from onlineopportunity.org for all my help everytime something went wrong with my blog. Jay actually helped me to rebuild my blog after my server crashed and some how all the data got lost. I am thankful for people like Garry Conn and Jay. Garry Conn is awesome.

In your C-panel, there should be a back up function, but that backup is stored on the server and not downloaded to your home PC. Do one now! Depending on who your host is, the backup function may be different than mine. The back up I did today is one that I cannot restore myself (in the c-panel), I have to call my host and tell them to do it. The tables are located in your C-panel under phpmyadmin. I think yours are probably in good shape being that you don't add on a lot of frivolous plug ins. :smile: Hi Debbie, yes there is a better way.

Is there a better way to backup a WordPress Blog? Sorry about the "Plugin like widgets" confusing analogy. Even though they are different code-wise, both Plugin and widgets can create unknown problems in a theme that are difficult to trace. And, WordPress tables are another mystery to me that requires more information before I will look at the tables in my self host blog.

I may change hosts later on but it can be much more expensive. When you're paying roughly $100.00 per year for hosting, I don't think I can get much more out of Bluehost. I am getting every pennies worth...haha! :mrgreen: Yeah, maintenance is a pain but definitely necessary. Hi Gypsy. I may change hosts later on but it can be much more expensive.

I know what you're talking about now. I am now much more familiar with my phpmyadmin interface, which is where I was really weak. I am experimenting with in on a test database just to learn all of it's functions. There is much you can do with it. I was looking at my wordpress import function under "manage". It only allows a max of 2 MB, which is useless to me because mine is much larger. I actually enjoy when things like this happen because it forces me to learn something new! Here's to a trouble free blog :mrgreen: Hi Pearl, I misunderstood what you meant by XML file, I kept thinking about blogspots XML export. I know what you’re talking about now.

I do back up the db every other day from within cPanel as well as from the blog dashboard - and also export the xml file every time I have a new post... I've tested uploading this xml file on another blog and it works great.. let's hope this was the last time for such experience That’s really nice of you Bobby .. will keep that in mind, thank you.

They suddenly just decided to "perform system maintenance and hardware upgrades" today! On a Monday! Iyiyiy! I had a few entries I wanted to post but suddenly lost interest (aside from the fact that I needed to work anyway). I don't really have any plans on changing hosts -- we all know what a big pain that is. This is just the first strike. I hope it stays that way. You're lucky to have someone like Gary Conn on your side :).
