  Hello everyone. Could you please help me on this topic.

  I want to back up my blog for safe keeping for in the worst case scenario if it all corrupts and I loose all my data. Is there an easy way of downloading the entire site or will I just have to copy and past into documents each individual post?

  Any help on this would be appreciated.
  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot “download the entire site” because the theme is not exportable and neither are text widget contents.

  (1) The Safe Bet – Use an Offline Blog Editor
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ as every post and page you create will produce a backup copy automatically on your own computer.
  (2) If you provide full posts in the RSS feed subscribe.
  (3) Periodically Export Backup Copies and Save them to Disc

  (4) Back-up using using Feedburner and Gmail

  Just go to the Dashboard Tools page and create an Export file. Be sure to include the media in it, not just the text.
