Backing up your blog...

Has never been easier than the little gizmo bloggerbackup from those lovely people at Codeplex . Drop by if you want an easy way to backup a blog.

For those of you who can't be arsed...

Getting a blog and spending a few hours getting it to look how you want it to, and doing all the associated shit that goes with it, there is a site that takes pretty much all of this, scrunches it into a ball, and throws it into the bin. Posterous is a miniblogging site that allows you to easily post whatever you fancy; MP3's, documents and even video in the form of links and files, to a page dedicated to you. Posterous automatically embeds players for the following sites: YouTube, Google Video, Hulu, Omnisio, MixWit, Justin.TV, Fliggo, Vimeo, motionbox, TED Talks, Viddler, Dailymotion, Blip.tv, Revver, TeacherTube, GodTube, seesmic, and Brightcove as well as allowing you to post on other sites like Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, Movable Type, Livejournal and Xanga.

Allows you to put a button on your blog so people can drop files to your drop. Works with twitter. Allows multiple users to drop files to the same drop. Has RSS feed capabilities.

This thing could be huge I tells ya, HUGE!
