I really love WordPress…
Wednesday morning, I noticed that the hard drive on Inara (that’s the server that was hosting Dissociated Press) was going south. You may have noticed the MySQL errors on the front page over the past day or so. I was far too busy to have time to replace the drive, but before the drive died completely, I was able to move a few of the db backups off the server.
This morning, I recreated the two sites that were running on Inara in less than ten minutes. Nothing lost, except maybe some comment spam that was posted since the last good backup on March 7th. (And, really, who cares about that?) Oh, and one or two images posted to the other site.
It’s stupid easy to set up a site using WordPress. And double stupid easy to re-create the site on a new host, assuming you have backups…
