Jessica, from BookingIt, requested I check out ways to back up our blogs. Since I've also been concerned about this issue, I put out an S.O.S. to my Blogger Buddies.Jean Fischer, from The Walrus and the Carpenter Blog, responded in yesterday's comments.
Our blogs can be saved through Blogger. Here's the link to a post giving detailed directions, including screen shots.
I immediately tried the procedure, and it worked without a hitch. Since it only saves what's currently on the blog and scheduled posts, mark your calendar and repeat the procedure every month or two.
All you Blogger folks out there give yourself some peace of mind and save your blogs.
What a fabulous resource!
ReplyDeleteI would be heartsick to loose 2 + years, and 500+ posts - - all of which I've penned with my grandchildren in mind.
Thank you.
Kathleen
Thank you so much Susan! You're awesome. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's SO easy. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteWow, Susan, you are on the ball. Thanks for that info...I am going to do that!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been thinking for several months now that a course in Web 2.0 (if that's the right term) is definitely in order for us writers. There is so much more I want to be able to do but not the time to spend trying to figure it out on my own.
Have a great weekend,
Carol
Hi Jess -
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, but the thanks belongs to my friend, Jean Fischer, who supplied the information. I just test drove the method and passed it along. :)
Blessings,
Susan
Hi Jess -
ReplyDeleteIt beats copy/pasting every post. :)
Blessings,
Susan
Hi Carol -
ReplyDeleteI'm not into re-inventing the wheel. If someone out there knows how to do something and can teach me, I'll ask them.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi Kathleen -
ReplyDeleteYou might want to take a look at yesterday's post. There's a way to put your blog into a book. It would make a wonderful keepsake for your family. :)
Blessings,
Susan
YAY! THank you! I plan to do it!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get the link to work!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches! Got run and try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! Heading over to check it out now.
ReplyDeleteBlessings:)

It was nice to be introduced to Jean Fischer. My "linc" button didn't work for how to save your blogs. I thought they were saved in our archives.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri -
ReplyDeleteIt's super easy. In addition to your blog, don't forget to back up your hard drive to either an external hard drive or memory stick.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi Donna -
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Have fun. :)

Let me know if you still have problems.

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI cant seem to connect to the link. Is that because I'm one of those people who cant see the top part of your blog? (But I always love the bottom part of your posts :))
Can you give me the address?
Thanks a bunch
Jan
Thank you, Susan. I just did it and now feel a bit safer. :)

Hi Carla -
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the link worked for you. I also recommend backing up your hard drive to an external hard drive or flash drive (memory stick).
Blessings,
Susan :)
Very cool! Just read this on Jessica's blog!!! Are y'all in a conspiracy to make us literate???
ReplyDeleteLOL, Susan.
Patti
Hi Patti -

Thank you for the reminder. I haven't backed up in quite a while!
ReplyDeleteHi Lily -

Blessings,
Susan :)
