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.*

This is just for a usable back up and someone up-comment says it works so that is good.

Ah, it's just a temporary disabling of the imports. That makes more sense. Hopefully things will clear up in a few days.
