BlogBackupOnline goes pro

BlogBackupOnline
BlogBackupOnline plans to end its public beta next week with the launch of version 1.5. Most existing users won't notice much difference. BlogBackupOnline will continue to scan your site daily and perform a complete backup of your Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal, or other blog for free. But some customers with larger blogs will be prompted to sign up for a paid subscription.

The cutoff point is 5MB. While this might not sound like a lot, in our tests, we managed to backup nearly 400 blog posts while using less than 4MB. Users who need more storage space will have the option of purchasing 50MB for $49.95 per year or 1GB for $99.95 per year.

Users who haven't hit the 5MB point yet will be upgraded to BlogBackupOnline 1.5 automatically when the new version is launched. Anyone who's already over the 5MB limit will get a 6 week grace period to decide whether to upgrade.

How to backup your Blogger blog entries

Blogger BackupGiven how Google doesn't have a perfect record of you know, not accidentally disabling accounts, you might be looking for a good way to backup data you've got stored on Google servers. For Gmail, the simplest method is probably to save your messages to Outlook or Thunderbird.

But backing up your blog using Google's Blogger isn't quite as straightforward. A few months ago we told you about BlogBackupOnline, a service that lets you make backup copies of blogs posts, whether you're using Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad or most other popular services.

If you're using Blogger, and you'd rather save your data on your desktop, you might want to check out Blogger Backup. There's no support for saving images, (something BlogBackupOnline recently added), but Blogger Backup is extraordinarily quick and easy to use.

On your first run, you can save all of your posts, or just your last 10, 25, 50, or 100. You can also set it to perform full backups or incremental backups, and to save each post as a separate file or every post as one XML file. Future releases will let you save posts as HTML or PDF files.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
