RSS Feeds: Database Issues
At about 5 pm local time, I was not able to connect to the database that houses this blog. I contacted customer support and they told me they were having database issues. More than 3 hours later (probably 4 because I was not here to check), they got everything running again.
Three posts disappeared into lala land. It was only by going into my full feeds that I was to able retrieve and repost the articles. I've learned a valuable lesson. Back up the database after EVERY post.
Besides that, guess what other lesson I learned? When my hosting subscription expires, I won't be using their services anymore. If it was only this specific issue, I wouldn't be upset. There have been others.
Edit: I should've listened to this person: Don't forgot to backup your blog

This is the right tip: Don't forget to backup your blog. It is so true for many of our computer related work. Computers (and databases) sometimes fail, and we need to backup our stuff on regular bases. Thanks for the post.
