If you use WordPress.org as your blogging application and need to backup your blog, then a new plugin released by the team at iThemes is for you!

Backing up your blog is very important, but it can be a challenge if you’re not tech-savvy. The new iThemes WordPress plugin, BackupBuddy, handles the process of backing up your blog, widgets, and plugins in a snap. The plugin also makes it easy to move your blog to another host.

Since BackupBuddy was just released last week, new users are finding some glitches, but the iThemes team is working quickly to fix them. Yesterday, they announced that the BackupBuddy plugin is working on 90% of server installations.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks like this could really be a great WordPress plugin. I know that iThemes creates great WordPress themes (follow the link to read my review of the iThemes Flexx theme), so I’m sure their plugins will be good, too.

You can follow the link for more details and to download the BackupBuddy WordPress plugin.

Have you tried the BackupBuddy plugin? What do you think? Leave a comment and share your opinion.

Want to make your Twitter profile stand out from the crowd? Instead of using one of the default backgrounds that Twitter offers for you to use as the background for your Twitter profile, you can get a free, personalized or custom Twitter background from a variety of Web sites and designers.

A free Twitter background typically includes a design or image that can be used by anyone, but since it’s not included in the options offered through the Settings option of a Twitter user’s account, it takes a few more minutes to find and upload a free Twitter background from another site.

Personalized Twitter backgrounds can be free or require a fee. You can find Twitter backgrounds that you can simply insert your name and other personal information into, or you can find some Web sites that allow you to upload your own image and then insert your name and other information into.

A custom Twitter background is best for businesses and people who are trying to create a branded online presence. Custom backgrounds are designed for your specific needs and can only be used by you. Therefore, they have the highest price tag (but not unreasonable).

You can follow the links to check out my list of sites for free and custom Twitter backgrounds as well as my list of sites to find free Twitter buttons to promote your Twitter profile (and increase followers) on your blog.

It’s your turn again! There are so many popular blogs online, but it can be difficult to find smaller blogs that are simply amazing. That’s because there is so much clutter online, it can be hard to find great content amid all of that clutter.

Now it’s time to give some of those great blogs the attention they deserve. Follow the link and tell us what is your favorite blog and why. It can be a popular blog or a hidden gem. As long as it’s great, tell us about it!

Have you heard the expression “Website Flipping” with regard to making a profit on the internet?

Another expression which is also used in the same market is “Turnkey Website” or “Turnkey Business”

Essentially it describes a pre-made made website which is offered for sale as a “business in a box” .. … ooppss there’s another market place term… the website being sold either has a track record of producing an income or can be shown to have an income potential because of the niche features built into it.

I would like to say before you read any further – do not dismiss this profitable internet business because you think it requires a lot of previous knowledge or skill .. IT DOESN’T!

The business model is based around following some very un-complicated concepts to construct a profit making web site, using FREE resources. Then putting it all together in am organized way.

What makes the web site flipping business even more exciting is that, as long as the suggested underlying construction principles are followed, the website should produce you an income while you are waiting for a buyer. Furthermore if the pre-sale income grows significantly the selling price of this business asset will increase as well.

I recently found a way of building and selling, or flipping, websites is a very unique way ! You can create a website in a couple of hours with a minimum investment of money, and you can make a profit of $50 – $300 or more in a few days!

All of the “hard work” of adding niche content and building in niche profit generating links is taken away from the potential buyer, who instantly owns a ready made profit centre!

These websites are monetized, that is to say, they are intended to make a profit from PPC, Pay Per Click ads like Google Adsense, or/and from sales affiliate commissions from places like ClickBank, PayDotCom, Commission Junction, Amazon etc etc.

As I said earlier web site flipping for profit, is a very recognized and proven concept which works very well as a home based internet business. There are even, very popular, devoted sites where you can promote and sell the sites you have made for flipping, and I am not talking about eBay either, which is another excellent place to resell them.

But what if, without any previous experience, YOU could include some powerful scripts into the website -:

For powerful search engine optimisation.

Which automatically add more pages of fresh new content – with commission earning adverts!!

Use the power of social marketing website for extra exposure and back links. DIGG, YouTube.

Auto add Flickr Photos and YouTube Videos!
Even add a complete, commission earning, Amazon eStore based on the website content!!

Well ALL of the above is possible and VERY EASILY CREATED using the proven power of a FREE WordPress Blogs!!

The whole simple procedure is explained in exact detail, including direct links to all of the resources you need to churn fast out Blogs For Flipping Profits. Checkout this unique guide to building blogs and start selling them next week!
