Hi All,

I recently started a blog as my first official dive into internet marketing, got a cool WSO and got started. I did the usual stuff: submit articiles to EZA, post an new article a day and so on. A month a half later I accidental wiped out every article in blog upgrading to the newest version of word press without backing up. (even now it still hurts). I had my articles saved to my pc except for one really good one ( the pain!). I had been checking Google (before the blunder) to see that a lot the articles where coming up when I searched for the URL of my blog. There were 15 posts, of which 9 were showing up when i did the search.

I am thinking that it is impossible to get things back to the way there were before. But what I want to ask is will there be any negative effects as a result of my huge blog blunder (google wise) and will re-adding all the previous articles fix or lessen the impact.

I can't forget this question too, what do you use to back up your info for your Wordpress blog?

    Hi Jason,

    1) will there be any negative effects as a result of my huge blog blunder (google wise)

    Maybe, but nothing worth sweating about

    2) will re-adding all the previous articles fix or lessen the impact.

    They'll hopefully fix it. Make sure the URLs are the same.

    3) what do you use to back up your info for your Wordpress blog?
