WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

This post was written by Monika Mundell

It’s funny, here I am raving about how good my host is and then things suddenly go wrong. A few days ago I instructed my hosting provider to upgrade my server to a reseller account. I wanted a more stable environment and more bandwidth, as I’m heavily into niche marketing right now.

All was fine until now. Suddenly my last two posts are gone and so are the latest comments on my blog. As if they never even been there.

The purpose of this post is to show you how important it is to make regular blog backups. To do this I use the WordPress Database Backup Plugin. It works a treat and does the job every time.

Man time is flying… seems like just yesterday Mert Erkal has released his first issue of the Bloghology that highlights the real bloggers, people just like you and me and allows us to have a sneak pick at what makes people to blog. A great Free Report I highly recommend you have a look at.

Well, second edition of Bloghology was released a few days ago and I managed to get into that one and had an opportunity to share my thoughts…

I use gmail to aggregate emails from ALL my email accounts for a several different reasons:

• One login location to access all my emails
• Over 6Gb of storage space, never need to worry about space
• Custom filters allow me to move incoming emails into separate labels to make processing simpler

And when I attempted to login this morning I was presented with New Cool Feature - Send email dated in past!

I have discovered and played around with a new extension for Firefox that actually makes posting to a blog NOT only fun but very simplified and enhanced - Zemanta!

Guys, I’m currently dealing with some weird technical issues on my blog and much of the functionality have been disabled / removed to locate the problem and address it.

Please excuse the inconvenience and I’ll do my best to not hinder access to the content, just some of the additional functionality. Please be patient..

I’m about to commit what can be seen as sacrilege for a man leaving in US - I’m going to admit that I DIDN’T Watch the Super Bowl yesterday! Yep, I said it…

But quite honestly I’m a fan of hockey and even though I live in US for quite a few years - I never got into American Football. But I do love the day after super bowl, since the YouTube was invented! Some of the best commercials shown during the game and now I don’t have to watch the game itself just to see them!

With everyone wishing you Merry Christmas today I wanted to stop for just a second and step away from the sales furry that seem to be so often attributed with this holiday.

Yep, it’s that time again when everyone will be gathered around the table and needlessly stuff themselves with a meat of poor bird … I’ll be there as well, so don’t take it personally . Since everyone will be posting their personal congratulations on the subject I wanted to do something different.

A “possible history” of the holiday …

… and just in case you have too much time on your hands I share some interesting reading
