Restoring WordPress By Yourself.
I read somewhere that an internet marketeer was so caught up with trouble shooting and solving his technical problems that his product launch was delayed. He said it’s better to let the technical guys handle technical problems rather than ourselves. Well that’s true, I know how it felt like trying to solve my own computer or website related problems.
However when you have no one to turn too, then we really do not have a choice. Take for example my recent experience. My host servers broke down making one of my blog non existence. Every thing is gone, however I have got a back up of the blog in my PC. The problem is I never know how to restore it. My blog made use of WordPress and I was determined to restore the blog. I went searching for answers in the internet. I did find the answers I wanted, however when I followed the steps mentioned, my blog was not showing up. Now this is when the frustration start, you read the steps again and again, you tried again and again, still you get the error page.
Well after a couple of hours I finally manage to restore the blog and this is what I learnt.
