Being slightly anal-retentive and hosting on my own server, I have a bash script scheduled as a cron job that runs nightly and does the following:

• Tarball and Compress the entire directory structure of both of my wordpress blogs (Unhandled Exceptions and Deuce’s Wild
• Tarball and Compress the entire directory stucture of both my gallery installations
• Tarball and Compress the entire directory structure of my Mambo Install
• Perform SQL dumps (structure and data) on all databases on the server.
• Using Samba, connects to my desktop and copies the backup files there, as well as keeping a copy on the server.

It takes up some space, particularly the gallery backups, but it’s well worth the piece of mind that I have knowing that my data is in two places.

From time to time I’ll make a CD of one of the backups so I have a reference point in case I lose both drives.

w.bloggar is a great desktop blogging tool, although I’ve never experimented too much in using it offline (maybe I’ll try that sometime). I do know that it will allow you to save posts as a file on your machine and you can then reopen and edit them. Once posted, you can retrieve them (assuming you are connected to the net) and edit them as well.

If you are looking for straight HTML editing, the suggestions above are better than anything I can tell you. When it comes to html editing, I’ve adopted the “I don’t need your newfangled gizmos” attitude and use gvim for my html and css editing.

Although I hate to dignify the blatent bumping with a response, if you are talking about displaying a user agreement on the registration page, you would have to modify the wp-register.php file in your /wordpress directory. However, that would be overwritten on you next update, plus you may break something.

An alternative would be to create a static page with the user agreement and on that page place the ONLY link to the registration page. If you wanted to store the “I Accept” as a signature, well, that’s more background coding and database design. I have not seen any plugins with the functionality you have requested.

Are you looking for something like BAStats? As miklb stated, the initial question was a little vague, but you may want to check out BAStats and see if that’s what you are looking for.

The script for dropdowns is in the sidebar.php of the Neuron theme.

You have check out the sidebar.php file as well for examples on implementing the dropdowns (and the initializations)

Please send suggestions my way for the development of the Neuron theme.
