It's a New Year and time for new learning. A great task for the new year is to back up your blog. Though we all trust Google to back up everything in the virtual cloud, for peace of mind Google makes it super easy to back up your blog content onto your own hard-drive.
The first thing we will do us backup the actual blog posts.
Step One: Go to your Settings Tab. You will find yourself in the "basic" tab. At the top of the page, you will see "Blog Tools". Choose the "Export Blog" link.
Click "save File" and then "OK"
You have now Backed Up your Blog. Remember that this will only save the posts you have currently on the blog, so you will have to back up the blog periodically. I recommend marking it on your calendar for at least every few months.
Now, we want to save the template. Again, a few easy steps to put your mind at ease.
First, click your Layout Tab, then "edit HTML" :

Thank you for this smart pro active advice!
Thanks, Annie! Just did this today. Easy directions and definitely something I had never done (3 years) so it was time.
Super! I'm gonna do it now!
