Resource for Archiving LJs and Test Cross Post...

[phyncke]

I am testing the cross-post function from dreamwidth and also providing the following resource. This is a nifty little LJ archiving tool called LJ Archive. You download it to your computer and it allows you to archive a formatted and searchable version of your journal to your hard drive. Dreamwidth disabled the importing of journals due to the DDOS thing so this is a second option for saving your journal, if you are so inclined. I have not read enough on this to know if you can restore the journal back into LJ or another blogging site but this is something.

I hope that you find this helpful.

Cheers.

*a post script - this utility relies on LJ's servers for the back up. You have to log in to lj from the script and it backs up your journal. While LJ is having trouble, this utility will have trouble backing up your journal so keep that in mind and try at different times to get your journal back up.*

Hi, came through DW's Latest Things. Shouldn't it be "LJ doesn't have bandwith right now to allow the importing of journals"? DW disabled it because LJ keeps timing out because of the DDOS.

Great...will correct. There are still a bunch of frustrated LJ folks trying to back up to here.

*sighs* Yeah it would suck to lose all those posts...:( Hopefully the people backing the attacks will run out of money soon.
