Getting Lost Posts Back

I have restored almost all posts with the help of msn and the waybackmachine http://web.archive.org. I need to upload the templates I made and the images so those can be unavaiable for a day or two.
If you find some error 404 page not found let me know.

Do Not Switch Servers and Go On Holiday

Backup backup backup…. I know and should do it but if I ask you …when was the latest backup of all your work?

Two years ago my computer crashed and all my work was gone. That computer was the one I used for my business and all pending orders, images, and emails were on it. I did have the habit of printing every order so i did had most of the emailadresses of customers. After that I promised myself to make a regular backup and so i did …for a couple of months :)

3 weeks ago I went away for a trip of 2 weeks. Before it I had a lot of work with the mug priniting business plus I released the software of ABB (affiliateblogbuilder.com ) …it was hectic. I also cleaned house with hosting and got rid of several hostingaccounts and a dedicated server and switch almost everything to hostgator.  I made several mistakes … 1. I DIDN’T backed up :( 2. I thought I downloaded everything and when i uploaded it to the new server I assumed all was the same as it was on the old servers 3. I didn’t checked everything (nameservers, files etcetc)

STUPID …what happend was first during my 2 weeks I had no access to the internet. Second I forgot to download and upload this domain so all posts were gone . I will use http://web.archive.org to get some things back but I guess some posts will be lost forever. But the worst thing was that at affiliateblogbuilder.com some files weren’t uploaded which caused new customers with an error and as I was away and not aware of the problem I got some nice(not) comments of several forums.

So the lesson learned : Backup everything and never try to cramp things in a few days just before a holiday or trip…you will make faults which will hurt you.

DeBlogging Wordpress Template

I started I new site at www.deblogging.com where I will post code and templates that are “deblogged”. What I mean with it is templates that have a less bloggy feel and touch but are run on Wordpress as backend. The reason why is that I love Wordpress as a cms but I do not always want to have a blog when I build a website.
Wordpress is a great tool and I use it alot on my sites but out of the box it is not everything I want and with these templates I want to include the following

  • SEO friendly
  • Static Homepage
  • Different pages for categories
  • Contact and Privacy page included
  • Sitemap

If you go to deblogging.com you will see a layout of what I have in mind and I expect to have it ready this week.
