That’s right, I’m blogging. Again. My last attempt at this went unceremoniously off the air in late April, when we moved back to the good old USA. This occurred because I was hosting my blog from a computer located in my house, and surprisingly, my computer was not capable of serving up my blog when packed into a suitcase between layers of socks and underwear.
Being off the web for a little while might not have been so bad (after all, my readership was, to be charitable, really, really tiny–hi mom!), but it was literally months before I had the time to consider getting the blog back online. And when I did have a few minutes to think about it, I quickly realized that all of the blog data was on a hard drive that I had reformatted one week earlier. Oops.
So, lessons learned:
- Don’t host your blog any website at home. Especially if you’re planning to move. Ever.
- Back up your data.
- Back up your data.
- Back up your…you get the idea.
