My blog maintenance routine is basically a proactive approach to avoid problems with my blog before they ever happen. As most of the community here knows, Basic Blog Tips is a very active blog with loads of fresh content, attractive high-quality images and plenty of social sharing options to choose from. I always try to limit the number of plugins that I install on the blog but there’s always a new one that comes along that it seems like I can’t live without. When the blog seems to lag and perform poorly or if something isn’t working as it should, I can usually hone in on the problem. Here’s what I’m doing to keep things running as smoothly as possible.
Blog Maintenance on Basic Blog Tips
- Backing up the blog – for this I don’t mess around with any free solutions. I use BackUpBuddy and as far as I know it’s the only tool that creates a full and complete backup of your blog AND provides a way for you to restore or migrate the blog if necessary. If you are using a different method for backing up your blog do yourself a favor and find out how you’re going to use those backup files to restore your blog when the time comes. If you have the technical expertise to figure out how to do it, good for you, if you’re like me and you can’t even begin to think about doing it on your own, go to the iThemes site and get BackUpBuddy.Ā UPDATE: download this free ebook Getting Started with BackUpBuddy
FREE EBOOK!
- Optimizing the images – because I like to have high-quality images that complement the high-quality content here, most of the time I use iStock photos. The only down side to using them is that the file sizes are pretty big. When I first started this blog I was using Blue Host at the time, and my blog was really slow and and as a result, Blue Host would “throttle cpu usage” (what ever that means lol). Bottom line, my blog was going offline two and three times a day and I searched high and low looking for the cause. That’s when I found out about WP Smush-it“Reduce image file sizes and improve performance using the Smush.it API in WordPress.”Ā This is a free plugin and now that Pinterest is all the rage, I suggest you install this one and save some file space.
- Building the internal links – this is one of the easy SEO strategies that my friend Mitz told me about (yes I do a little bit of SEO from time to time). I’ll take a look at Google Analytics or Google Webmaster tools before I decide which posts I want to link send links to. This is a matter of my own personal choice and you can decide for yourself exactly what anchor texts you want to link to and which specific posts, I’m not going to go into details about strategy, this is simply a reminder that you should spend some time building internal links and you can read more the on page SEO process here.
- Pretending I’m not me – don’t laugh at me. I know what you’re thinking, if I’m not me, who else would I be? The answer is simple and here is what I mean. I try to be impartial and scrutinize my blog just like I do every other blog I visit for the first time. I ask myself – is it easy for me navigate this blog to find what I need, is the font big enough to read, is the blog cluttered with ads, do I even know what this blog is about in the first place, etc. I find myself doing this a lot more lately because it seems like the longer I blog, as time goes by I’m becoming more critical of other blogs I read when I’m researching or meeting new bloggers on social networks. I have to stop myself sometimes and say “remember when you didn’t have an About page”? Been there, done that! My point is this – give yourself a blog audit every few weeks and tweak things as needed.
My ultimate weapon for blog maintenance
WP-Optimize plugin to the rescue! I absolutely love this plugin and it has already saved me lots of headaches and help keep my WordPress database organized. One day I ran into a little snag when I was backing up my blog. I asked my friend Chuck from CyberSmartWebMarketingĀ to give me a hand and mentioned that most likely I was holding on to a lot of post revisions that I needed to get rid of. HeĀ recommended that I give WP-Optimize a try and he was so right! The first time I optimized my databaseĀ I discovered over 6,000 post revisions! I’m not kidding. This all goes back to the problem with Blue Host (btw I’m using Host Gator now and I’m very happy with their hosting) and I would be so worried that the blog was going to go down when I was in the middle of a good thought! Well thanks to Chuck Hines for introducing me to this plugin because I can honestly say, that I don’t hear too many people talking about it. Here’s the video from Chuck showing how quickly you can perform blog maintenance and repair your database with WP Optimize.
What about you, what steps do you take for backing up your blog and making sure the images are compressed? Do you have a regular schedule for blog maintenance?

Its interesting what you have to say about optimizing your images, I hadn’t really thought of that before although I do always get the best images I can for my work. Thanks for the advice!

I know those revisions can really pile up. They can consume a lot of wasted space and clutter the database up. I recently set revisions to none because they were starting to get out of hand.

I use smush it as well to optimize my images. Also a great way to reduce the file size of the image is to scale it to a smaller size. I find that I often don’t display my images at their full size, so I scale them down a bit to reduce file size. Other than that I backup daily using my vps backup server. And I check to make sure my plugins are all up to date and my site is running normally.

Hi Ileane. I moved my blog over to a vps earlier this year and I purchased my backup vps server through them as well. My provider is Hostigation.com.
They are really reliable and super reasonable. My hosting is $6 a month and the backup vps server is $4 a quarter.
This is an unmanaged VPS, so that’s the only downside. I have a friend who helped me set up the server a put wordpress on there for me and he helps me out with any maintenance needs. If you know your way around setting up a VPS server, then Hostigation is a really good provider.

Though it is usually tough to have moms judge you (she always has nice things to say!) but yes, after a little persistence she does say what she doesn’t like and it helps me work on it better!
I like the point of optimizing images; haven’t really worked on that! That is something I will have to look in to!

I still have to work out a way to get the back up for my blog done- never really gave it a thought till I read about it now! Off to give it a look right away
And I loved that link for optimizing your images, though I mainly use the ones that are free to use on your sites and require a credit alone. Need to check out that as well
And yes, just as you scrutinize other blogs, I do the same, but am forever critical about my own blog and keep thinking about how I can make things better!

As for the Video XML, I would love to know what Amit will say. Still don’t understand why you are having problems since we both use the same theme. Maybe it is an incompatibility issue with a plugin.

the very first thing I did in backing up my site was put a CD-RW into the CD-RW drive, and make sure that the CD was blank. After that, I used my FTP program to completely backup my site and put the backup copy on the CD-RW. After that was complete, I log into PHP my admin, selected the correct database, click the export button, scroll all the way down, check the box that says save as, and then click the go button. From there, I was able to back up a copy of my MySQL database. I backup my database every day, sometimes 4 to 5 times a day. This way, I have everything on hand, if anything happens to my dedicated server.

Very nice methods Ileane, I like the fact that backup is at the top of your list. WP-Optimize plugin is new to me so thank you for sharing; I’m going to check this out now
I use the Better Delete Revision plugin to remove unwanted post revisions on my blog, this plugin also has an optimize database option, it works a treat.

CPU throttling is the act of slowing down the site to reduce the amount of CPU that is being used. The central processing unit (CPU) carries out the instructions of a computer program. Since you were using a shared account there were probably 100′s or thousands of sites using the same cpu, so the host slowed down your site because you were using more than your portion.
Basic definition and now you know what it means.

Hi Josh, Thanks so much for the explanation. In the long run I can’t understand why they have so many sites on the same CPU and how do they expect to give customers good service if they need to to throttled. I’m not having this problem with Host Gator so does that mean they don’t have as many customers? Or that they have more awesome CPU’s?
Let me know if you have any insights on that. You’re welcome to do a guest post on the topic if you want. Just let me know. Thanks!!

Hostgator has a bunch of servers. So it might be that the other company is just trying to get the most money they can by squeezing as many people as possible onto one server.
Or your blog was just getting too much traffic that was causing the cpu to spike.
And to answer the “I canāt understand why they have so many sites on the same CPU”. They do it because people don’t want to pay $30 a month for shared hosting and so they pack a bunch of people on a server to:
1. Be able to pay for their equipment
2. Bring the price of hosting down.

Hi Arelthia, I forget where to adjust the auto save time. Please remind me where I make that adjustment.
In my case 90% of my revisions are ones that I created manually because I didn’t want to lose my work. Blue Host had me really paranoid. I’m getting much better service from Host Gator though. Thanks Arelthia.

I use smush it as well to optimize my images. Also a great way to reduce the file size of the image is to scale it to a smaller size. I find that I often donāt display my images at their full size, so I scale them down a bit to reduce file size.

Having a Backup of the Blog is really important and is the first maintenance for your blog. I dont optimise the images daily but I build internal links for my blog.
Well, I just learned about WP Optimize and it cleared out 4MBs of post revisions over the years that I had no idea even existed, 813 of them; interesting find. I stopped backing up my blog because the file’s are too big for my host to even allow me to add them back, which is a major shame. Might have to think about that one of these days, with all the content I have.

That’s not what I mean Ileane. The last time I backed up my file it came to 4.8MB. My host will only allow me to load a backup file of 2.5MB. So it does me no good to back it up because I can’t load it back onto the server.

Sounds like you’re referring to a partial backup considering the small file size. Is there any reason why you don’t want to switch hosts so that you can have a chance to back up your work? I hope you can work it out somehow.

Those are some solid tips Ileane!
I compress my images manually, but sometimes it messes with the quality and I end up getting a not so crisp/sharp image.
Wordpress plugins make it so much easier.
I need to have compressed images on my dad’s website but it’s just an html website and I still don’t fully understand Dreamweaver. But it does make me appreciate Wordpress even more

For those of you who are installing the WP Optimize plugin just to remove revisions, you do realize it might be a lot easier just for you to just run an occasional SQLQuery? The one below will drop all revisions in the database:
DELETE a,b,c
FROM wp_posts a
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)
WHERE a.post_type = ‘revision’

Plus it’s super scary. I would definitely need someone to hold my hand during this process. What can be easier than checking off 2 boxes? That’s what I do in WP Optimize.

Those are some great tips. I like how you put the WordPress backup tip first. BAcking up your blog is probably one of the most important tasks when it comes to managing and maintaining your blog.
I try to optimize my images where I can, but incase I haven’t done the best job, I also use WP-Smush-it as well.
The weakest part of my blog maintenance is definitely building internal links. I haven’t really gone back and applied many internal links – although I do know that I really should make the effort.
Paul Salmon recently posted..Why Should You Have a Self-hosted Blog?

March 15, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Paul, creating the internal links can be time consuming on one hand. But it’s also a good time to clean up some things that might otherwise go unnoticed. For example, I have quite a few Facebook posts that I need to go back and add links to the new Facebook tutorial because the old ones still get traffic but the information is totally outdated! I wish I could set a timer just for the Facebook posts so they would update every time the platform changes! (I know, I’m dreaming right) LOL!

Great to know that you’re proactive in terms of backup of your blog. I use directly the backup of the entire site via Cpanel, but I know that BackUpBuddy is a good tool.
Try to use images but not huge, so I diminish the size of them, before post it.
I use WP-Optimize from time to time, to reduce the DB and like you, the revisions are tons
I’ll pin it on my brand new Pinterest account – testing there. Tell me later how it goes in terms of traffic

I think you can setup a Cron Job service for timely backups rather than using a paid software. I use that only after WP DB Backup failed to work due to host migration and all.

Ileane this has helped me so much. Your tips are all fantastic. For me, at this time, it was a great reminder to get back into iStock Photos. I have not been focused on using my visuals correctly. Now with Pinterest all the rage, I do need to focus on the visual.
I also like when you say that “I pretend not to be me.” because I often do that. Sometimes I come to such a great blog content, but there are ads flashing in my face, there are so many click-able banners, and so on. It makes me dizzy! It doesn’t look clean and doesn’t brand the person well. The message I get from these crowded blogs is “buy me” and that is always a turn off.
Thanks again for these great tips!
