Tutorial: Backing up your WordPress Website

One of the most common questions I receive is ‘How do I back up my database?’.

Unfortunately a small number of people do back up their websites. There have been quite a few cases recently where people have lost their entire website with no back up.

So I wanted to provide you with instructions on how to do this to prevent or minimise the damage if something goes wrong.

There are two steps to backing up your site;

1.  Copying your wordpress files (this means your theme, uploaded media files and plugins)

Manage your Tweetups with Twtvite

Do you organise events and Tweetups and on Twitter?  I wanted to share a great and effective Twitter tool that will help you manage the event. 

Twtvite assists you to promote your event, allow others to retweet the event, and also manages the RSVP’s. You can even create a hash tag for the event which is posted whenever you tweet or retweet the event.

I use Twtvite for the monthly networking lunches that I organise and just love it!  It has made organising the event much easier I am able to track RSVP’s and also see who is retweeting about the event.  Twtvite even provides attendees with a map for the venue and allows you to input the event into Outlook.

I would love to hear about more Twitter tools, particulalry for managing events.

Cheers
Nicole
