Dear Blogger:

Don't tempt me.

After this day-long hiatus you took (and posts you erased), I am tempted to look elsewhere.

you know what I am talking about. and i didn't like it. and it WASN'T funny.

Suddenly I got very panicked at the thought of losing these memories and thoughts recorded on my blog.

Suddenly i realized THIS is a scrapbook in and of itself.

And if something ever happened to it, I would be devastated.

It's so much more than pictures and "we did this and that"....

it's my heart.

Would love to hear what server you use (was there a learning curve) and/or how you back up your blog.

I use blogger too and was very scared! What a true point you make in that our blogs are also a scrapbook. I've always thought of printing out my blog into books. I will need to look into this.

I always thought to myself "my blog will always be there forever and always cuz nothing could ever go wrong with it cuz it's online" - boy was I wrong! How scary! I'm glad I've started printing my blog into books - but those could get stolen/lost/burned/etc. Is there nothing permanent?!? :)

I love love love my wordpress... I post using blogger for quite a few design teams and i just find wordpress so much easier to use. As for backing up my blog, I haven't ever really thought of it before now... hhmmmm... I'll have to find out how!
