WordPress : backing up to Dropbox

Posted on by

I learned it the hard way that once you have a site up and running its better to keep a backup of the same locally in your machine. There are chances that the whole of the content might get erased!! You call it a server failure, no backup plan or anything, but the end result would be loosing all your content along with the conversations. In my quest to get a simpler and straight forward backup plan, I found this nice plugin for WordPress, called “WordPress Backup to Dropbox“. This plugin allows a direct, scheduled backup of the site to Dropbox. All one has to do is, schedule the time and frequency of backup and thats all, everything else is simply automated.
Hope that helps someone out there.

Internals of this blog is updated!

Posted on by

Yesterday, the internals of this site is updated again. Now it runs WordPress version 3.2 Beta. This is for the first time I have updated to a development version of the engine.
Well, I must say the transition was just smooth. The best of all is it now has the new default theme and that is pretty awesome in itself. All my custom widgets are intact and I have applied them here without any hassel. Overall I am impressed with the progress of the WordPress engine and this is probably the best update in recent times.
The admin panel is sleeker and lot of confusing settings are provided in a simple UI.
Well done WordPress team. I am happy with my new design. Obviously want to listen from you, what do you think of this site.

Posted from WordPress for Android through my “HTC Wildfire”.

Enabled mobile update.

Well, must say WordPress is a nice framework if you want a php framework for your content management system. Appart from just a framework, it is a blogging engine and a full blown CMS ( Content managent system ) . I must say, after using its free service for a long time , I started to experiment with the engine and put forward this blog. Now I have just enabled its mobile publishing facility. It is a setting on the administration area, under writing section.
Is not that just wonderful about a free and opensource software.
This post itself I am publishing from my cell phone, just to test and feel the service.

Finally updated the internals of this blog

Posted on by

well, its been a long silence. But better late than never. I have finally updated the base wordpress engine and the plugins to its current available state. I am not saying I will post this update message every time I will update, but this one needs a mention as I have taken log time ignoring this. Partly for ignoring and partly too enthusiastic. But then, i think I am better now to get up and keep going.
I least I am hoping so and wish me luck for the same.

Thank you all for stopping by.

This is a test run

I have just added the CodeHighlighterPlugin for my blog. So as to take it for the test run, I am posting it here. Below are some actionscript code to see everything works fine.

package  
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	
	import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
	
	/**
	 * @version 0.1
	 * @author Saumya
	 */
	public class FlashMenu extends MovieClip
	{
		public var btnOne:Sprite;
		public var btnTwo:Sprite;
		public var btnThree:Sprite;
		
		public function FlashMenu() 
		{
			this.init();
		}
		
		private function init():void
		{
			trace(this, ' : init : ');
			this.btnOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onUserClick);
			this.btnTwo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onUserClick);
			this.btnThree.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onUserClick);
		}

Happy living
