Help! My blog appears to have died!!

[CraftsonSea]

So, here I am about to write a lovely blog post, try to log into my blog and....its not there. Can't get on the main site, can't get into my admin site. No idea what to do or where /why / how/ anything. I am self hosted on wordpress, but as DHs blog is still up (and both were set up together) I don't think its the hosting. Obviously I have never backed up anything because I am a luddite and had no idea how to do it.
Any help or ideas much appreciated!! Its craftsonsea.co.uk/

Ahem, apparently its that my server is down. Apologies for my flouncey panic!

Sorry we missed this craftsonsea - but you've made us giggle. That must have been a looong hour between posts .

Which platform are you using? If it's WordPress there are plugins that will create automatic backups.

Lol, I have no idea how I'm allowed to have a blog since I am a super luddite. Am on MintHost and it was pretty much down for 48 hours, lost three posts including a blinder on Kate Middleton which I referenced AIBU in. Typical!

Also thinking I better investigate that plug in!
