>I have a feedreader installed on my machine, subscribed to
>my feed as an emergency backup that I control
I guess I am more anal, and afraid of losing my “pearls”; I have three different gmail email accounts set up to receive my feed. (Yeah, I know belt’n’suspenders! But hey, it’s free.) Feedblitz, Feedburner, and RSSFWD. I pop3 those accounts back into my OutLook client and stuff them in their own folder. Blitz and Burner give me a daily summary. And, those daily emails have alerted me in the past to problems; 2 with Burner and 3 with Feedblitz. So not only is it a backup, but it’s a check on what my subscribers are seeing. Both of them. (Just kidding; there’s more than two. Not much more, but who cares I write for my own entertainment.) RSSFWD (i.e., one email per post) seems to come in gobs on no apparent schedule. It’s a backup though. So thus, I have three separate backup spots for my primary blog’s postings. I did this because in my early blogging days, wordpressdotcom burped and I lost some of my finest work. (It had to have been my finest ’cause in my memory it was “fine”. And, it ain’t around to be proven “lame”. I also on a monthly basis do an XML dump from wordpressdotcom. After all it is my finest whines. Hate to admit it but I use BLOGDESK as desktop client to post to wordpressdotcom, so there’s a copy of all my posts is in that as well. My 2006 whinings are available in book form from Lulu. (Hey, it was a personal joke! But made handy gifts to all my relatives and friends. My Mommy loved hers.)
Nope can’t never have tooo many backups,
Now let me print this email, put it in my blog, send it to my three friends, and make a web page out of it.
