Well? When was the last time you backed up your blog/site? Was it a week ago? A month? Do you count on your host to do it?
For shame…
Go and do it now! Don’t stop to think about it. Don’t put it off any longer. It does not take that much time, and think of all the work you will have to do if you lose everything from the last few months.
If you are using WordPress (which you should) then it takes no effort at all. Log into your admin panel, click on ‘manage’ and then ‘export’. You will get something close to the following screen.
Now just hit the button and save the file to wherever you save that kind of thing. No more worries. You should also already have a copy of your current template, but if not, drag a copy of your main WordPress directory back to your desktop. Now even if your host burns to the ground, you can be back up and running in no time at all.
Now don’t you feel better? You can sleep well knowing all your bits and bytes are safe.

There is a plugin that does this automatically. Just google Wordpress Backup.
