* Backups!!!
* Posts in Advance
* Guest Bloggers

My last backup is a week ago, I guess that ain’t that bad…I don’t know what I am gonna post tomorrow…and every time I tried a guest blogger it didn’t work…

I guess I am an accident waiting to happen…good thing I don’t count on my income from blogging…

In wake of the massive fires in California, I have addressed the issues of saving/backing up your blog” , and how to prepare for a disaster, to the readers of my two blogs.

Whenever tragedy strikes, whether it’s man made, mother nature, or other, we all need to be prepared.

Backups are very important, as is having a backup on your web host’s server, as well.

A loyal reader base will totally understand if you cannot post for a period of time.

Hopefully by now, you son is feeling great, and you can take your well deserved vacation.

I hope by the time you are reading this that you are on your way for holidays, even if its closer to home than you planned.

As for worse case scenario, my back up plan should I have to stop blogging for some reason is to have perfected my writing abilies to stay alive in the “brick” publishing industry.

And being a possitive guy myself, I think about that valuable archive that grows everytime I post.

You suggestion for diversity are heeded.

Networking is a real interesting one. I want to start networking with other bloggers but sometimes I find I am so heavily into creating and posting on my blog that I don’t have to to visit heaps of other blogs.
Are there any good ways to network apart from spending hours searching sites?

I think it is also a great idea to have another revenue stream apart from adsense. I lost my adsense account and have found it hard to find a great advertiser that is as good as google. Which ones would you recommend for a new blogger?

now, im also sick. sick of blogging.. damn..!!

I think your post was very helpful. People should always have some form of backup plan. Mine, is keeping my day job until I see some revenue :)

Every responsible person should think always in the worst scenario, in every aspects of their life. what could happen if you get Cancer? what if you could not work anymore because of anything?.

Maybe ourselves are not so important as our family is, we should always think about them, and how could the manage with out us!

Thanks Darren good point this week!

It’s great that you cover this topic, it has been on my mind recently. It can be so easy for something to happen and jeopardize all the hard work you’ve put in building your blog up. I’m still in the building stage but it’s good to look ahead.

Good idea to be thinking about the worst case scenario’s though.

so i have learnt my lesson the hard way.

so, i backup regularly @ least twice a week and i recommend that to everyone.

Yes, good ideas to run ‘what if’ scenarios in a venture like this especially if you’ve developed a significant income. It’s like driving; if a hazardous situation were to unfold right in front of me, how could I get out of it, avoid it or, minimize my involvement? Thanks for the insight.

Tell us about those Plan B travel arrangements when you get back.
