My sister, one of the reasons I’m a blogger today, used to keep her site on Diary-X. That is, until a few weeks ago when Diary-X had a catastrophic hard drive failure and went kaput. They had never backed anything up. My sister lost 3 years of entries. It’s all too horrible.
So the moral is, go run a backup. You never know what might happen.

I’m telling my husband about this tomorrow! I am approaching my 3 year anniversary….we have our own sites, but they are on a server somewhere! ACK!
oh ma gawd!!
And when you’ve done the backup because you’d like to keep your written words, why not look into making a book from it?
