Backing up WordPress and your website
Since WordPress 3.0 was recently released, and I went through the process of upgrading, I thought I’d write a quick post on the steps one should take in backing up their blog, database, or even their entire website.
Keep in mind that you’ll probably want to backup your site or database more often than every WordPress update, but how often is really up to you as it depends on how busy your site is, or how often you update it.
WordPress 3.0 released!
If you run a wordpress site you may have noticed a message in your admin panel stating: “WordPress 3.0 is available! Please update now.”
You may choose to update automatically or simply download the full package and upload the files manually, but whichever way you choose, make sure you backup all your files first (which is something you should do periodically anyway, whether you’re upgrading or not).
The list of new features is extensive.
