Thanks for your feedback on my previous post, about backing up your wordpress blog. Most of them, were extra tips. Here they are….
1 Niyaz “The problem is that we cannot backup other files like images using this method.”
2 xylene was trying to remember something… “there was some site which will convert our blog into pdf. Any idea which one?”
( I think its this one http://www.expresspdf.com/ConvertHtmlToPdf.aspx )
3 Suda “Good for newbies, but I think when I read WP FAQ first, they ha warned us that its not the way to backup everything and it puts too much load on server if people start using it madly
Suda, and his tip : Backup your Blogroll.
I found a way to backup and import *blogroll* from one blog to another or just backup. May be you already know this.
go to http://yourblog.wordpress.com/wp-links-opml.php where *yourblog* is your own blog URL.
For example in dinu’s case, his blogroll can be exported as OPML file using link http://www.offlineblog.net/wp-links-opml.php
P.S> Dinu, if you think this is a useful tip and people are gonna miss this comment being on old post, you can add it in your TIPS as usual, all people eagerly read them ![]()
I am using HTTRACK Website Copier from ages and its really effective. I think I will write a post/tutorial for it soon. It won’t help in moving data to new site but its the best way we can backup a website i.e. downloading it as it is to local machine. ![]()
Also that PDF conversion site is superb, it converts page with all images included. Not the page as it looks though, it takes just content in PDF but its worth the trouble.
So, Thanks a lot guys.
How are you?? I hope well… :)) *hugs*
ha the pdf site looks the stuff
the reason:- too lazy to add the 101(as of today) blogs
I don’t have a blog roll
@ Smallstar
I am good
…
@ Vishesh
Hmmm .. 101 links ? go on a vacation and start adding LOL
the help tip is of good use. I just knew how to backup the site but the blogroll thing is good. if i am planning to move to a new domain name. thanks for the info.
@ s4n705h
Cool .. new domain name.. just changing the domain name or installing wordpress again and … that way ?
well., i dont think i need a back up of blogroll as of now .
that pdf thing is cool ..i can have a PDF version of my site
Hey Dinu thanks.
@ Arvind
Okay, take pdf for now.. may be sometime later you will need blogroll backup too … you can always come back and search for it
@ Suda
You are welcome
@dinu: glad to know it! Eheh :))
about the blogroll… I like adding in it everyone that has commented in my blog… And many of my added bloggers are really nice! P.s. You are one of them!
@ Smallstar
Thanks for adding me
I was using HTTrack when I was leeching my 3Mbps cable connection by exploiting some bug, I used to mirror all porn sites then….
@ Anshul
LOL … they din’t catch you ?
No, they couldn’t because of lack of professionalism at their end and more of it at mine.
@ Anshul
LOL you are funny
@dinu: I really think that you are nice and I also luv your blog!!
*kisseZ*
The PDF site is cool but it converts only one page at a time..
cool. thanks for posting it.
thank you, dinu for the gr8 tip. i am backing up my blogroll now. and i dont think the pdf version of site is of any use. we keep updating. so wats the use of the pdf version?
@ Smallstar
thanks
@ | Balu |
Will let you know if I find a better site.
@xylene
@ Hasit
Hmm I am unsure about it.. may be you can keep that as another backup .. or publish as an eBook, or print.. etc etc ..
Very interesting! Backing up a blogroll… Hmmm… Saves a lot of time, but only if you’re planning to move blogs! Why would anyone wanna do that? :O
@ Nikhil
this is for crazy guys like me who love to play with blogs rather than actually blogging
hey, express pdf converts web page to odf. So take pdf format of my complete blog, I need to add link of each web page (og my blog) to generate pdf. Isn’t there any other service that converts my entire blog to pdf, not repeating my sidebar widgets?
And those were useful tips for backing up my blogroll.
@ Poonam
hey .. I will look for it and update you all
Knew about this before
and ya thanks for that PDF thingy…
@ Joel
I know that you know all these
Blog of small things? wow I like it.
@ Xylebe
Thanks
yup… I knew about this beforehand too…
but the Pdf thingy, I believe can be usefull.. the only glitch is that it converts one page at a time. now DAT can be a pain…
@ Musicalchaos
hmmm you are a “mss know it all” … hi hi …
I am searching for any other option for this
