How to automatically back up your Wordpress blog to e-mail
The other day I mentioned Engadget's blog backup guide, which works great but may be too Linux-centric for some. Reader Matt wrote in to point us to an alternative for Wordpress users, a tutorial at davebgimp.com that describes how to set up Wordpress to automatically e-mail a backup of your whole Wordpress blog to you every day. The tutorial requires you to install two Woirdpress plugins, WP-DB-Backup and WP-Cron, both by Scott Merrill. If you've ever installed a Wordpress plugin before, it will be a snap, but even if you haven't it won't be tough. The tutorial suggests you configure the plugins to send your backups to a Gmail account, but there are several other options to choose from.
