Automattic, the company behind the development of our beloved WordPress, is debuting a service that allows users to make backups (backups) of all your blogs easily, and most importantly, in real time. With the prestige of a reputable company like Automattic, VaultPress is presented as an alternative to the typical data backup methods. Anyone who is familiar with WordPress, you know that there are many plugins that help make backup copies of information (of not only the database, but also files). The disadvantage is that many users forget to backup, or simply store the backups on the same server as the blog. If there is any problem with your ISP, it gets ugly.

VaultPress is a service designed to make all these backups automatically, constantly monitoring, and a team of "experts" who are to help in any contingency. This service is in beta and records are limited by invitation. It should be noted on a waiting list and wait to contact us to complete the registration.

There is a form where they ask things about us (experience in blogging, how many blogs you want to store, how much would pay for the service, etc.). In the beta service is free, but the suggested price is $ 25 USD per month, which I think is ridiculously excessive.

For those interested VaultPress a viable option, you can use WordPress Automatic Backup, which saves backups every day in an Amazon S3 account. The plugin is free and Amazon prices are quite low. From personal experience recommend this plugin that works automatically and saves backups every month.

3 years ago was very popular meet enterprises engaged in contacting bloggers with advertisers so that they write posts (reviews) on certain products or services. In fact this model was very popular and many people were enrolled in this type of site where sometimes there were good payments. That yes, influential blog required to be at least considered. And so it worked then. The problem came when bloggers published some positive comments about a product when it was really poor quality. The lack of honesty sparked much controversy, especially when it comes to these markets where they sell and buy sponsored posts.

Bloggerwave is precisely this style a site where anyone can register a blog to make money. Once an account is created and approved by an administrator, you enter a market where advertisers choose manually the sites where they want to advertise.

Once you have selected (on) a blogger, this (a) must write a post with the conditions specified. The information provided by the page is very clear and it is said that honesty should prevail above all, if someone does not like something, I must say as it is, without guile.

At first you may not have many advertisers and, worse, the few that there will be interested in the American public, which leaves little scope to compete. Anyway, it's interesting to see the revival of business models that were successful in the past, see if there comes a second wind of such sites.

The blogs hosted on WordPress (ie blogs whose URLs end in wordpess.com) now have the service integrated PubSubHubbub. For those not familiar with this concept, it is a new way with which it comes to the Web in real time. The aim is to provide instant updates when new content through a hub. Regarding the traditional way of providing updates (typically using feeds in either RSS or Atom) PubSubHubbub offers many advantages as for example, prevent server resources spent inefficiently, as it prevents the process of doing pings (requests) to check for changes. By incorporating this technology will be easier to distribute content, and do it methodically.

While this type of update PUSH (acronym to shorten the name) service are not yet implemented in many places, incorporating WordPress.com blogs, will surely be an interesting test to yield positive results, will leave many positive things. Perhaps in the near future deployments will begin to see different types of content.

For those with WordPress blogs and independent housing, there is a plugin called PuSHPress, which integrates easily into any PubSubHubbub blog. No further extra settings, and if it manages the feed with FeedBurner, the process is even easier.
