SQL nightmare & a Blogging Book

If you were visiting the blog just a few moments ago, you might have noticed that the blog was absolutely devoid of comments!  I managed to accidentally empty the comments from the database whilst making some SQL changes.

Thankfully, I have always made a backup of SQL database before doing any work.  I learned to do this some years ago, after accidentally nuking a whole site (with no chance of getting it back).

So all I had to do was get the comments table from my backup and restore it.  Sweet!

And what I was trying to do was update some URLs which have died - to redirect somewhere else.  Always good to keep on top of the "money links" ;)

Make Money from Blogging

Thomas Sinfield has written a book called "make money from blogging".  I've not read it yet, so can't tell you if it's any good or not.  I also don't know how much Thomas earns from blogging, so it might not fit your needs.

    I've made some dumb mistakes in the past, like running an update or delete query and forgetting to write or include the where clause. Transactions can be a beautiful thing…! ;-)
