Just a quick heads-up: If you’ve logged into your WordPress.com blog’s Dashboard, you may have noticed that WordPress.com is doing some maintenace on the hosted blogs tomorrow. It will take place tomorrow, Sunday, Feb 15 @ 20:00 GMT (or noon PST, 2:00pm Central, 3:00pm EST in the US).

It’s recommended that you save your work (if you’re in the middle of writing a post/page) a couple hours ahead of the scheduled maintenance time.

I recommend that you save everything you are working on at least two hours before the maintenance down time begins. If you “need” to blog something, write it up in a text editor or (at the very worst) a word processor and save it there until you can copy and paste or paste using the Word quicktag button in the Visual Text Editor.

This will not affect self-hosted blogs—only blogs hosted on WordPress.com.

There is no downtime associated with the maintenance. It just involves some work that affects WordPress.com cookies. If you are logged into WordPress.com at the time, it will probably just log you out and you’ll have to log back in again.

According to the WordPress blog, you don’t have to backup your blog. Just make sure if you’re working on a post, back it up because you might get logged out before it can be auto-saved.
