Unless you’re into technology for its own sake, I strongly recommend using a blogging service, such as WordPress.com or Blogger.com, rather than maintaining your own Web site, as I am doing. I started blogging as much for the learning experience as for the blogging. Well, sometimes learning is painful. But I have to admit, the hardest lesson I’ve learned is an old one — the absolute necessity of adhering to the rules that are followed where I work:
- Do daily backups
- Do a weekly database analysis
- Do test restorations of backups
