Make your next move
So, what do you all think so far of all the things that have been put out there for newbies, and for oldies but goodies alike? I sure hope you are finding it as helpful as I am.
I have learned a thing or two myself this week, and that is always a good thing! There is more to come. I have another guest post on Tuesday, and you will find that to be very informative as well. Then one more after that, and that should wrap up our coffee tips Tuesday.
As you can see I changed my background and my header. The last one was busy, I admit, however it was more reflective of my personality. I do however, have to be considerate for you too when you come over and read me, and I was having a hard time myself. You see it is all these little things that count too.
I have mentioned TIME goes into blogging and connecting. One major subject I would like to share is
the EXPORTING of our blogs. Did you know your blog can just VANISH? POOF, Gone one day? Yes, I have heard about it often.
So at least once a week, save your blog. How do I save my blog?
That's easy. You go to your
dashboard...then hit
Settings
On that very page you will see
Import blog - Export blog - Delete blogNow hit Export Blog
THEN you will see:
Export your blog into the Blogger Atom export format. You can do this to move your blog to another blogging service or simply to store your blog on your own hard drive. Learn more Don't worry, your blog will still remain on Blogger until you delete it.

That's it...now don't forget to do it.....you do not want to be one of those gals who lost their journal of life. Thanks Gloria from Happy to be for mentioning that to me...keep em coming!
Guess who cooked again tonight? I know, he's a keeper!
He made Rouladen, it was delicious.
He cooked, I worked on a project...just a mini one.
Stay tuned, I have a new feature coming up soon.

OMG- Someone shot a hole in your basket!>Diana
I have heard of people losing their blogs. I haven't ever saved mine, but I think I will now. Do you save it more than once and if so, how often do you save it?
I didn't know your blog could disappear. OMG! Thank you for posting! BTW, I love your new header and "look!"
Great post again my sweet daughter..It really is important to have a back up of your blog..Like I said I do mine once aweek..Takes only a minute but it's 2 years of my work if I lose it..who shot your basket?? Wished my Len knew how to cook girl..I could be dying and not even get a Sandwich out of theat man ha ha!! Just taught him to make coffee 3 years ago..Hugs and smiles your Calif. Mama
Dearest Debbie,
Great blog with valuable information. I've been saving all the URL links to my blogs, don't know if that would help to get back to them. I've read that this would help if someone is logged out or being hacked. All kind of things can happen.
I have no idea how the format looks, the one you describe here. And if you can bring that back, including the photos...?
Lots of love,
Mariette
Thanks for the tip to download your blog!! I had no idea it could disappear! what a lucy girl you are for your hubby to cook! yum :)
Debbie, just finished the download. Thanks for the advice. I'd never noticed this option.
Isn't it great to have your own personal chef? ;-)
Thanks again! ~ sarah
Never thought of this nor have ever done it! Guess what, I'm saving it now! See newbies aren't the only one's who need these tips.
Thank you so much! You know, I have been to so many websites that counsel us to back up our blogs, but have any of them actually shown us what to do? Nope! Thank you for showing me how to do this. You rock.
You know I have not done that backup yet. Not sure how, but will look at it. It scares me to do things like that. Can you send him over here to cook!
I definitely appreciate all the information that you put out there for new and old bloggers. I will start saving my blog.
Hi Debbie Dear! OH, this was a good post! I've just learned how to save my blog and thought about posting about it! Now I don't have too! This is such a 'must'!
Now what happened to that basket? Boys? Hmmm...little wheels are spinning in my most tiny brain.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You know I used to back up the blog, but then sort of forgot about it. So thanks for reminding me! Now I have to figure out why you have a holey basket.
I tested my blog, and it took a whopping 1 second to load!!! Not bad for a blog that has tons of posts and BIG photos!!!
I am so glad to have you telling me all these things which I did not know!! Thanks!!
Good info!!! Ahhh, rouladen!!!! Yummy!!!!
Wow...you lucky lady! My husband doesn't do too much in the kitchen alone, but he is a good sous chef!
lovely blog!
thanks for the inf! i didn't know your blog could disappear! i'll save mine!
happy day,
Rosa
ps. topmodel?! you look great!! go girl!!!!!
I downloaded mine last week for the first time in a year. Donna at Funky Junk Interiors has a tutorial too.
I back up once a month. Love this new header. Stop flaunting your roosters though...I'm going crazy.
Thanks for the heads up ,I have saved mine (not that there was much to save)it was surpeisingly easy even for someone who has not got much idea like me.
What was it that you had for dinner I have never heard of it before.

I haven't saved mine but I'm going to do this. After ignoring everyone's advice to back up my picture files, not listening and then losing them all on my old pc this is advice I'm definitely going to take! How often do you save yours? Is a weekly thing?
wooooo german food i love it what time is din din:)
woo hoo! Thanks so much for this valuable info!
Great tips Debbie! I need to export, so thanks for the reminder!
So glad you posted this, Debbie. I just exported and saved my blog. Thanks!!!
Great informati0on - thanks bunches.
You are lucky to have a personal chef. :D
THANK YOU!!! Debbie, I had NO idea that I needed to do that and I am so happy that you posted this!
You are helping newbie folks and those of us who have been at it for a little while. Bless you, my friend! :-)

Great post Debbie! After reading about several bloggers losing their blog I discovered how to save mine and have been saving it once a week. I may have a small blog, but it is important to me and I would hate to lose it and all the hard work I put into it.
I like the new look of your blog Debbie. You are correct in stating it is not as reflective of who you are. When I visit you I know I can expect to see bold, bright and cheerful colors which is how I see you.
I don't have a hubby to cook dinner for me, but I do have a DIL who is beginning to spoil me by cooking for me!
Hugs,
Tracy
I read you and I light up, just like that! Sincerely, you make me happy- THANK YOU, a ton times!
I think your sidebar looks fascinating. The white background really compliments that beautiful new header! :) :)
Great tip! I haven't backed my blog up in a while so I best be going :D
Debbie, I just want to say that I really appreciate all of your newbie tips and help. I followed your tutorial and finally made my very own button! I'm so glad that I got myself acquainted with your blog. I really enjoy reading what you have to say. I really appreciate how you are reaching out to help people not because you have to, but because you WANT to! I look forward to what you have to say next! Take care and keep up the great work!
Gina
Blog saved. Thanks for the tip! I never thought to back it up. I actually didn't know there was an option to do it. Thanks for the explanation...it was painless. ;)
Have a good weekend!
~ Kim
