One of the things on my to-do list while we’re sitting in Kansas City was to back up our blogs. I’ve never done it. And, one day it dawned on me that, with a couple of hundred posts, this blog represents hours of work that I’d hate to lose. It tells a heck of a story that we’ll want to remember. And, same with Bullwinkle’s Travels. Its 100 or so posts are definitely keepers in our book.
I had seen the “export blog” link on Blogger many times. But, I had made up in my mind that it would be a time-consuming task. After all, it took me hours to write all of this stuff. Surely, it would take more than a few minutes to back it all up.
After yesterday’s post, I decided it was time to tackle that to-do. I settled in with a cup of hot coffee and prepared for backup. I clicked on the link.
A few seconds later it was done. Amazing!
So, fellow bloggers, if you’ve yet to back up your work, I’m here to encourage you to take the leap. Backup early and often. It won’t take much time at all.
You’ll be glad you did.

Mary, that is a great reminder to all of us to back-up our blogs. I've been doing it on the 1st of each month but I should do it more frequently as it is so simple. For those who haven't done this - just go to your Dashboard, then Settings and you'll see it at the top! I just backed my blog up right now - thanks again!
Every time I do a blog, it gets sent to my Yahoo account complete with photos so I file my copy in my email folders and it's backed up automatically.
wow, I've also been thinking about backing up the blogs. Thanks so much for the instructions. I'll get the whole PC backed up in the morning.

Thanks for the info Mary. I just backed up mine that I started almost 2 years ago!! You really ARE a bundle of info...

So all I need is a flash drive and do the "Export Blog" thing? Why didn't I ever figure out how easy that sounds (I won't say "how easy it is" until I've done it.
