Technorati Cache Of Blog Posts?

[abinidi]

Hey everybody. Hope those of you who had Thanksgiving this week had a great one.

 

My server, 40, had a bad day on Wednesday, and now I'm missing a post I made Wednesday evening. I opened a ticket and they said they can't help me.

 

However, my post got pinged by Technorati, and they have the post on their site. I can search by terms in the post, and the sentence containing the term is shown. So I know Technorati has the full-text of my post. I just can't figure out how to make Technorati show the full text.

 

Does anybody know how I can get Technorati to show me the full text of the post from their cache? I'm really sad to have lost the post I made.

 

Thanks.

Of course, after I ask the question, I find the answer. I'll include it for those of you who might be interested in the future.

 

I logged in to Technorati, and looked at my blog.

 

I could see the tags I used most recently. I clicked on the tag that was the category of my post (I use WordPress). The post was shown. I could then click the "show details" link. The full text was shown in a pop-up window.

 

Anyway, I got the full-text of the post.

I'm glad you got it sorted

 

To help you in the future, I'd suggest you have a look at the Backup FAQ and set up an automatic daily backup of your mysql - that way you will always have a copy. (apart from the short time of any posts of course made on the day, but before the backup time)

I do backup my blog daily. But I back it up on my server. I need to figure out an off-server backup procedure, because backing it up on the server doesn't do any good when the server has trouble. (My current server-backup plan is designed to keep a backup in case the database gets corrupted.)

The dbsender option in the thread Andy links to, sends the backup to any email address you tell it.

 

Personally I use a gmail address and it works perfectly.

Yep, dbsender is the method I use and recommend too!
