Awesome indeed, Typo.
I hardly use Dropbox myself, but I loved the description.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I'm in the process of possibly selling a domain name. Currently there's a WordPress blog hosted there that I haven't updated in over a year but would like not to lose - what is the easiest/most idiot-proof way for me to move the blog onto another URL? I have the blog's new location already registered, so I'm hoping there's a if-not-one-then-very-few-clicks way to backup the existing blog and restore it at the new location.

Well, it's all about the database. You'll need to export all your tables and then import them back into the new database.
Also you'll need to edit your wp-config.php file to have the new database information.
The trick is that (at least with MySQL) that exporting will create a text file loaded with SQL commands to recreate the database. You can do a search and replace on that text file to replace the old domain with the new one. Then everything from settings to image/media links is updated to the new domain. Then you import that text file back in and presto the blog acts as if it's always been on the new domain. Then you edit your wp-config.php to point at the new database you've created.
It's more than a few clicks, but it isn't too bad. There might be a more clever way to do it, but that's what I did to move a couple of blogs.

Okay, that was actually really easy. Lost my old theme for some reason, but at least all the posts/images/comments are there. Awesomecakes.

Jessica, download the old theme (FTP), and upload it to the new site (FTP also) and you'll be able to use it again.

Mozy just changed their pricing so we may not stay with them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From lifehacker, The Best, Most Affordable Alternatives to Mozy for Unlimited Backups
It's not that Mozy hasn't been a great cloud-based backup service, especially for beginners. But the sudden price jump is catching many off-guard, especially users of the unlimited plan. Here's where else you can look if you've got a good bit of data to back up.
