I think it is great that people are beginning to understand the importance of backing up their content. There are new posts almost daily with the "work-arounds" users have figured out.

Here are another 2 entries in the "thanks, but do I have to?" blog back up methods category:

The point is that these are work-arounds developed by people who understand how all the pieces fit together.
But-blogging has gotten simple enough for everyday users like me to join in, and I don't understand most of what is happening in the background. I don't want to. That's what this Web-as-platform, social-networking, join-the-community explosion is all about.
