If you share a computer with your children, you probably understand the REAL fear of a malicious download wiping out your desktop. Even if you are the sole user of your precious computer, losing your hard work, research, images for your blog posts is a rather scary thought.
How do you keep all those important tidbits for your blog safe? Most will answer with long winded instructions on backing up your computer (including your blog backup files). Not I! My solution is called drag and drop into a desktop folder – or save the files in the folder. Easy Peasy.
For those of us with little time or money to pay someone here’s a handy FREE solution. It’s called Drop box. Not only does it back up to their remote server – it also allows you to access your files from any computer or phone.
So bloggers, my blogger tool of the week is Drop box. We can’t live without it! Register for free at Drop Box

It’s the beginning of a new week, and as such we have a new featured blogger that you’re sure to enjoy. Today we pick the brains of Stacie Vaughan of simplystacie.net .
enjoy!
Why did you start your blog?
I started my blog after discovering the wonderful world of blog giveaways. I thought it would be fun to host my own so I gave away something from my home. After a few months, I was contacted by a company to do my first product review and it just grew from there!
What is your blog about?
My blog is mainly product and book reviews and lots of giveaways. I also share any resources or blogging tips I find in my travels to help other bloggers out. (ed. – the blogosphere is far more fun when we share!)
What platforms has your blog been hosted on?
WordPress
So what’s your favourite WordPress Plugin?
Comment Luv (ed- Commentluv rewards your readers by crawling their blog and posting a link to their most recent blog post. This encourages useful comments and backlinks )
Tell us a little about your blog and goals for the near future.
I plan to continue with the reviews and giveaways as I have been doing. I have a team of reviewers and they have been doing the bulk of the reviews. It takes me a lot of time to do all the admin. I have some big events planned for the next year. I love working with other bloggers on events, so I will likely continue doing that as well.
