Back up your blog!!!

I have been teaming up with a company called Bloggled for awhile now, and I have been DYING to tell you all about it! Finally the time has come. You're going to LOVE this!!!

Have you ever been terrified of losing your blog? Ever accidentally delete comments? or posts?
Bloggled is here to save the day! They will automatically back up your blogs (and tweets) for you!!! I think it's genius! I have been blogging for 4 years, and can't imagine losing anything! Just like most of you, I've been recording everything from this:



to this:

It's my life. My family journal. And I can't wait to share with my kids when they're older!
You have to go back up your blog!!! It's essential!!

From the time Bloggled had the idea to allow people to backup their blogs and Twitter data, the question has been asked "why do I need to backup my tweets and blog?". Here are some great reasons why:

1. If you blog on a free blog platform then you do not have access to the server where all your blog data is stored.

2. Every blog platform has a delete button that is not that hard to hit. Even Google deleted their own blog!




3. According to terms and conditions on free blog platforms and Twitter you could be shut down at anytime.








Brent Ramey (one of the founders of Bloggled) knows from firsthand experience how devastating it can be to lose your blog. Can you imagine all those years of hard work building a family Journal blog and loosing it all? Or years of your Tweets and your friends Tweets lost to never get them back? What if you have been trying to monetize your blog? Finally, you got it making money and then the blog was shut off or deleted?


4. Why not?

If you sit back and ask those questions I guarantee that you will want to have your blog backed up so you could restore it if needed. The last point "Why Not" is the bottom line. It is quick and easy. If you lost your blog or Twitter account and you could have backed it up with Bloggled, you would regret it forever!
