How hard/easy is it to switch roms?

I'm currently using liquid but I wanted to try some other ones out.

Whatcare the steps I need to take?

Brad92 swears by boot manager, i havent ever used it, i just do the flash process every time i wanna try a new ROM, you can make backups of your favorites and restore them just like your stock backup

How do I make individual backups?

You made a backup of your stock rooted device CWM correct?

I backed up my phone before flashing Liquid using Titanium. But I don't see how to make a seperate backup with it.

Install ROM Manager. It's an essential tool.

With it, I switch ROMs a little more frequently than I should.

In CWM there's an option to backup and restore, that's where you can make backups of the whole system and restore them

I have never backed up nor flashed a ROM through ROM manager, I never had any luck, I just prefer to do all wipes and flashes manually

I just downloaded Rom manager and made a backup of Liquid. What would be my next step?

So I tried doing Liberty 3 wiped data and all that good stuff.. got caught in a boot loop. So I restored Liquid.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Yeah that's why I never use it, just use CWM recovery like you did when flashing liquid, make a back up there first then wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash and you do have a gapps zip right
