The blog software used by this site is sort of a beta version and will be updated (as soon as I can get around to it).

There is a risk that blogs will be lost when I upgrade or I might even change blog software. Therefore, if you want to keep your blog data please keep a backup (copy and paste to word as you go along).

PS: I do backups and my host does backups but I cannot guaruntee restoration of blog data.

I am amazed at people who post these elaborate diarys and journals on free blog sites without realizing that the data might not be backed up and and that their precious data can be lost forever.

I've just started creating an Asia-Expat blog, and have been saving to Word as you've suggested, Mike.

Roughly how long until you upgrade the blog software? Shocked

I'm just finishing off some other blogs & webpages in readiness for the summer holidays.

I'll be in transit July & August 2005, so if you don't get to upgrade during that period, then I won't have to allow for reuploading in the event that the existing blog is lost.

Cheers occasion
