How to Automatically Backup your WordPress Blog

by

It happened to me once. I lost 6 months of hard work and it was painful.

Back in 2006, I created, together with two of my friends, an online community which started to grow quite fast and soon became well-known.

But soon after the launch, the worst happened. Our website was hacked. That was hard, quite hard, but the hardest part was that we did not have backups, so the ultimate solution was to stop working for that project.

Quix – An Extensible Bookmarklet from Yoast

by

Following Shortwave, one of Shaun Inman‘s many ideas, Joost de Valk from Yoast released Quix – a command line bookmarklet tool for your browser, on steroids! 🙂

Quix combines multiple bookmarklets across multiple browsers and allows you to keep all of them gathered in one place.

Quix is an extensible bookmarklet, that allows you to easily access all your bookmarks and bookmarklets, across all your browsers, while maintaining them in only one spot. All you have to do is remember the shortcut for the bookmarklet, so, basically, it’s like a command line for your browser!
