Hey, I'm looking for two things in this post, if you could help me out. First of all, I need a backup system so that if something happened to my blog, like a server going down or something, I would be able to reinstall the entire blog with all posts, plugins, changes, etc all there. I also am looking for a good blog directory submission service, one that focuses on blog directories, not just normal link directories, do you know of any good ones? Thanks a ton.
you need this plugin for backing up WordPress database tables http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/#post-472 as for the blog submission service, I can't help you..I only submitted to a few manually
Use wp database plugin which lets you save the database to your computer. And look for the submission service here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=60
