Blogging is not simple especially if you self hosted your blog. The common mistake is not backing up database or SQL files regularly. What if your blog suddenly disappear? Bad things happen but we should never neglect our obligation to our blog among other things. But backing up database is also time consuming when you have many tasks to do. I only have 4 hours a day on my PC, 2 hours spent on entrecard dropping for my 2 blogs and 2 hours for blogging. There’s no more time for me logging in to my database to back it up.

Actually, I found a simple solution. I used a plugin few months back. I didn’t post it here because I’m still testing it. Now, I recommend it to all bloggers I know and decided to make a post about it to spread the word. It is called WP-DBmanager and you can download it here.

So, after a month of comparing my two separate web hosts, I drive to decision of moving ebooktechie.com blog to my bluehost account. Enough with comparison, observation and “trials & errors”. What matters most is to have a 24/7 customer support anytime I need it.

Last month, I did have problems on setting up my other blog on my current host until I decided to sign up to bluehost. I don’t need a separate web host for each of my blogs, what I need is a reliable support, in this case, for multiple domain hosting. In times of trouble, that’s the time you will realize if you’re happy with your host’s service. Don’t wait for future problems on your current host, rate them now.

Never in my wildest dream that the world of mobile technology will reach its present status now. Making a wap site before is like an ego booster… a hobby… an outlet… a lifestyle. Today, mobile users accessing wapsites using their handheld device is still growing especially after the launch of iPhone 3G err… that’s mobile lifestyle indeed.

Wapsites before such as wap forum, moblog (mobile blog), download portals among other wapsites tend to plagiarized contents from websites, web forums and blogs. The good thing is PageRank applies to wap using Yahoo and Google wap search. Technically, if the websites are indexed by search engines with PageRank, no problem with that except for duplicate content. We still enjoy traffic from mobile users.

This blog and my personal blog accumulated a sum of entrecard credits when I got busy fixing my personal blog, glitchline. I’m done migrating from blogspot to wordpress but still fixing other 404 errors and widgets. After that, I’ll be changing my template here.

Anyway, why do we need more entrecard credits?

• To buy more adverts. More adverts means more blog exposure.
• To use as price on blog contests.
• New entrecard users need more ec credits to buy adverts on popular blogs.
