Yeah! And remember to back it up. I had a blog in the early days when it was all new, and bitterly regret not backing it up properly - 5 years of content gone.
- JohnFen 8y agoI handle my websites in a way that provide automatic backups -- I keep complete mirrors on my own machines that are already part of a backup regime. I make changes to the mirrors, and then upload the changes from there to the public sites. That way, I always have an offline copy without having to remember to make one specifically.
- kalid 8y agoHave you checked archive.org for a backup? It's saved me a few times.
- FerretFred 8y agoNo, I wrote the blog software myself and all the content was stored in a MySQL database on my rented host. I thought I'd backed it up, but hadn't. It's the usual story of "it isn't a backup until you've tested it".
