  Weird… I just put you into my blogroll a few days ago. In the sidebar of your dashboard you’ll find “Tools”, select “Export” and follow the instructions. It’s a good idea to do it once a month if you’re posting a lot. You can also copy and paste the text of your posts into a simple Word/WordPerfect document…

  From the delightful support documentation:

  Backups

  If your blog is hosted here at WordPress.com, we handle all necessary backups. If a very large meteor were to hit all of the WordPress.com servers and destroy them beyond repair, all of your data would still be safe and we could have your blog online within a couple of days (after the meteor situation dies down, of course).

  But if want to back up your blog content manually, you are free to do so by using the Tools -> Export option described above. This is still certainly a good idea, as if posts and pages are removed manually from an authorized user on your blog, there is no way to recover the posts.

  Aside from using the export function, there are several methods of backups for bloggers available and if you are inclined to look for other you will find them in this post:
