Back up your blog often
Whether you are on free hosting or on paid hosting, you should always back up your blog often. Accidents can happen; you might wake up one day and find your blog gone.
Why should I back up my blog?
- You might be hacked!
Getting hacked is when someone gets to access your site without your permission or illegally. Once inside your site, that person can do nasty things on your site. He can change your “manly” template into something gay. Or perhaps add new posts about your secrets that you don’t want the world to know. Or add links to sites you have not even heard of. Or just simply to delete your posts, and worse, your blog itself. - You might be doing some template changes and messed up your blog’s appearance!
Although it is not recommended to edit your blog’s appearance online, some people do them (I do it when I’m lazy to edit it offline). What if you made some errors while you may be editing? Remember that there’s no undo when editing it live. The moment you clicked that button named “save”, any changes you have done are reflected on your blog.
UP Admissions Debate: Equity or Excellence?
Note: The ideas in this entry written last year sprung from our lively discussion on social class distinctions (economic, intellectual, ethnic) in Mike Falgui’s American Lit course that I attended in UP last August 2006.
Manila girl is one of the best and the brightest in her batch from that school in Metro Manila. She wanted to get in UP. Results came out. She didn’t make the cut.
Well here’s another chap from the province, he’s at the top of his batch, too—but Manila Girl is more competent than he is, and the Higher Powers can verify that. But he got in UP Diliman.
The principle of equity tries to approximate the number of UPCAT passers in order to have a representation of the country in the university. There are limits for every region. Manila Girl may have better credentials than Promdi Guy but with so many applicants coming from NCR, Manila Girl just didn’t make the cut. Oh well, there’s always Ateneo. (No offense meant, I love Ateneo)
