Hi Thomas, could you give me some tips on how to back up my blog posts? I thought and was told by my computer guru that because it's on the internet they are already there and backed up. I appreciate your expertise.
Hey Gini
In a way your guru is right - you can't back up your blog to your own computer. But both Blogger and WordPress now have ways to backup your posts and templates for safekeeping.
Here are links from the Facebook Bootcamp for Geneabloggers site:

Backing Up Your Blog (WordPress)
Thank you Thomas, I will read up and get busy on backing up my blog. I would rather be safe than sorry! I backed up my FTM 2008, photos and other data over the weekend, then loaded 2009 FTM, it was a great feeling to be backed up and caught up, I sure slept better that night! Thanks again Thomas.
