    It sounds like your blog was hosted by wordpress themselves, as you mentioned 'Wordpress TOS' (ie you signed up with wordpress.com), but if you can afford it you'd be better off hosting your blog yourself using a shared hosting account. This way, you have total control on content, and aren't breaking anyone's TOS (other than maybe the hosting company, but I'd doubt it).

    You'd need a basic understanding of FTP as well as the back-end of Wordpress and how themes are modified/which additional plug-ins to use etc (some PHP would definitely be useful, but usually only necessary for fine-grained tweaking). Cost-wise, I can only speak of prices in the UK (which tend to be higher than the equivalent in the US), but on average around £50/year plus any domains you wish to purchase. I've been with Dreamhost in the past, they're very good, give you loads of extras in your hosting package, the only downside for me was they use their own control panel (cPanel is the industry standard, and very easy to use).

    If you go the self-hosted route, most hosts have Wordpress as a '1-click install' in their control panel, otherwise you can download the latest version of Wordpress (currently 3.5) from wordpress.org

    Some tips to make a self-hosted Wordpress blog more secure:
    • Don't use 'wp_' as the table prefix when installing
    • Don't use 'Admin' as the admin
    • Use an obscure admin password (but store it physically somewhere safe!)
    • Don't use the admin account for general purpose stuff (ie writing posts)
    • Have a separate user account for writing posts
    • .htaccess protect the 'wordpress/wp-admin' folder

    Backups etc are still important
    thank you for this.
    as it stands i think i need to save the hundred dollars to have them host it off site.

    thank you again and YES you need backup, i recommend EVERNOTE (I use it and it's a godsend!) a math friend told me about it, lol

    You're welcome.

    The suggestion from Wordpress that you use one of their premium providers sounds a bit dubious if I'm honest, much better to retain 100% control of your content through the self-hosted route. Cheaper too, around half the price that Wordpress seem to be recommending. Yes a slight learning curve, but well worth the effort in my opinion.

    Maybe as an interim use their suggestion (if only to get your content back online. I'm assuming they'll restore your content???), download/backup your content to a local computer, then medium/long term flick them the bird and self-host.

    Good advice in your post - thanks.

    Even though many such shared hosting accounts will offer backups as well, I recommend backups elsewhere, so that if your account there is closed down or lost, or the entire hosting service goes off the air or is compromised by the bastards in power, you still have backups.

    What is the best way to back-up your blog? I couldn't imagine this happening to the blog, especially if you have multiple contributors?! Hope the member was able to recover the blog.

    it was a single author managing the blog, sadly, and copy pasting what wasn't written from scratch or drawn.
    there was some backup on evernote, but not every post was diligently saved, to my knowledge,

    and some of the articles (crappy though) can be seen on nuclearnuttery.blogger (google?) i think.
    it's really disappointing, makes me feel sick and defeated, and i don't know how to respond to this one.

    thank you all for the encouragement and i am sorry for what is happening around the world to the truthers facebooks and websites.
    i am very afraid for us all in terms of the light shining --

    Tesla -- you could make a donation account for the $100.00 to get your blog moved plus a little extra for expenses. You should do everything possible to save your work.

    Do a search on Google for "What is the best way to backup your blog?".

    I personally don't know, but I see what seem to be several useful articles using that search.

    "better not talk about tesla or else!" ~Gubmint


    Dear Avalon family!:


    It's finally hit me, how great a loss this was to me,
    when my 600 articles from two years of private journalism and research were deleted by Wordpress without an explanation.

    I wanted to reiterate that talking about 9-11 in the context of Tesla weaponry got my blog messed up not once but twice,
    and also ended up suspending my yahoo answers account too, when I asked in the physics section what the people thought of Judy Wood and John Hutchison.

    this research gets people killed, discredited, targeted, demoralized.

    i feel so empty having lost my articles and failed to back some of them up.
    the only thing left is Evernote and the twitter feed that had all my headlines and links in it,
    sigh.

    i had no trouble with my website going offline until I talked about the jesse ventura show about tesla death rays and controlled demolition of highrise buildings,
    and remember that ventura's guest for that episode was killed the next sunday iirc.

    isn't that horrible>>>?>



    veterans for 9-11 truth now!

    Tesla,

    It is really sad but you have to move past this. You have done your very best. So re-energize and keep going. Keep on doing what you know you should be doing. If you let the "game" get you down, then you are being de-tuned (and that is what the dark ones want).

    Just remember each step taken in truth cant be taken back. The light pervades darkness.

    Don't have time to read all the responses so apologies if someone else has already told you about this. It is at archive.org and is called the wayback machine. You can see the dates that Google indexed your site to see exactly what was on the site at the time. If you know how, you can take the code and repost, if you don't know how you can always cut and past in any word format for future use.
    1. go to the wayback machine
    2. look at the dates your blog was index and select one.
    3. Copy everything or just what you want.
    The only caveat being that if your site was never indexed then it will not be there. That might be the case if your site was new or if you hardly ever posted on it, otherwise is should be there.
    It is a free internet library of books music and websites exactly as they appeared on the dates that Google indexed them!
