Bloggers lose their blog and cried, “Help, I lost my blog!”
Recently, I saw in some forums and blogs as well that there are many bloggers who are losing their blogs to different causes. This is rather frustrating especially to a particular blogger who claimed he has more than 600 entries or posts in his blog.
Based on the bloggers’ posts and comments asking for help, here are some major reasons why they lost their blogs:
- Web server crashes, downtimes and other web hosting problems
- Blog software problems (usually due to plugins or mods)
- Blog Defacements and Hacking incidents
- DDOS attacks
- Domain hijacking
- Manipulation or accidental human errors
Just so you know, many believed that even Goggle once lost their official blog to some hackers. So if the big guns are vulnerable, so are you. So ask yourself the question, do I want to lose my blog?
Losing your blog is easy as getting it up from scratch. The problem is that bloggers don’t recognize it this way thus they keep on ignoring the fact that they can lose their blogs anytime.
This is to remind you that blogging is fun and rewarding if you can keep your blogs up and running for as long as you want. If you lose your blogs just because you have not taken cared of your blog backups, then you are only to blame yourself.
Don’t lose your blogs. Remember to backup your blogs diligently and consistently and you don’t have to worry about the possibility of losing it ever.
