If you happened to log onto the course website this afternoon between about 4:30 and 5:30, you may have noticed that the lecture schedule and readings pages weren’t working. Not that you should care, but I upgraded the WordPress theme, and I forgot to save a copy of the code that I had to write for those. Luckily, having reconstructed the code once before, it wasn’t too hard to reconstruct it again (and now I have it backed up in two places). I think everything’s back to normal. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Using git to version control your wp directory is very useful for these sorts of reasons. You can also export the database and version that periodically as well.
Good idea. Git is even better than simple backups.
