I didn’t mean to sound so negative yesterday,
but just thinking. No I have not heard
of the soon crash of Blogger, I am just thinking of past history..
I was happy with AOL Journals, the first time I had
gotten involved in this type of correspondence. I was happily traveling along,
even was selected at AOL’s Journal of the month once.
Then out of the Blue AOL: announced they were
dropping Journals. They advised every Journalist to save their entire Journals
even told how. Did I do it? Nah, BUT I do wish I had.
I do know this, if in fact Blogger does bite
the dust, I will definitely make acopy of this STUFF! And will advise others to do that also.
In saying that, If you were to copy your journal to save it, how would you do that? What media would you chose? I have so many CD’s and Actually I do not have a good CD reader. Then technology chances, I know folks who waited to late to save the old 8mm and Super8mm movies. My son Mark and his wife Corinne took all our 8mm stuff one year and had them put on CDs for Christmas, what a great Christmas present.
BUT how do we keep up with all the changes?
You see, I remember Granny’s shoe box of pictures
that her family divided up at her death.
Now that shoe box would not compare to our 36,000
hard copy pics. Now, familys have digital movies of their children from birth
to their 20th birthday and beyond.
Have you stored anything on the small cards?
And I do know some Bloggers us their blog as a personal life journal; downloading your blog by the year and put it book form, what a great idea.
Sorry, I just got carried away. But I am open
to advise… on saving all this digital wonderment.
Thanks for reading and yes I will appreciate your
advice.

As you say, technology moves on. I save some information on CDs or Blu-ray disc, but also for safety every so often on USB stocks too. If the documents are in writings rather than photos I also print them in hard copy. You will need to re-copy every so often from CD/USB to new medias as they develop. You can also put your information on the Cloud - you may have to p;ay for this depending on how much info is in the Cloud. We use Microsoft One Drive given free to all Microsoft customer. You can buy more space as needs be. At the moment, the CD or Blu-ray is the safest way to store data locally.
God bless
