6. Not Creating Backups
To avoid stories that touch the heart, cultivate the habit of backing up your blog periodically. Personally, I back up my blog weekly. I have heard instances where Google sends a blog to the recycle bin because the blog was marked as spam. Although this may happen accidentally, your blog may never get restored online. So make sure you always create a backup file in case your blog gets deleted or hacked and you need to restore it.
You can download your blogger blog backup file from your admin dashboard. WordPress-hosted blogs have a big advantage here because you actually have access to all your blog files. Make sure your backup file is stored online (file hosting and cloud storage accounts) and offline (flashdrives, hard disk, CDs).
