Can you restore a blog from a database backup, or was that just an assumption on my part?

Depending on your blogging platform, it can be a little tricky. When you press the "submit new post" button, a lot happens behind the scenes. If you're using Wordpress, the process isn't overly complicated.

Basically, you need to clear your wordpress cache and insert the data into the tables. This can all be done with phpMyAdmin. PhpMyAdmin is a point-and-click web based interface for mySQL and should make things easier than working with the command line interface.

Here's a good (albeit quick) walk through that explains how to restore data into WordPress using phpMyAdmin: tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/ If you're using a different blogging platform, please let me know and I'll provide detailed instructions. I hope that this helps you to restore your data! RB : twitter.com/AR_RobBrown.

It depends on what sort of platform the blog is running. Most of them, restoring from database would restore the blog. This is also assuming you have backed up the required information.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
