Moving and backing up
Jan. 3rd, 2017 09:22 amSo, like a lot of other folks, I now have a blog over at Dreamwidth. I'm amethyst73 there too; haven't got my usericon loaded up yet, but that will come. I still do most of my posting in a private circle on Google+; let me know if you want to be part of that if you're not already.
This is also a post to test out the Word/PDFing ability of BlogBook, which has been recommended to me as a way to back up my LJ account prior to possibly deleting it forever. (I can't imagine that anyone in Russia cares about my sewing projects, reviews, or family issues, but I haven't decided.) BlogBook will make a free PDF of your LiveJournal for the past year of posts, and a free Word doc for the past 6 months, and charges you for anything further back than that. I started this blog back in 2007, which is waaaaaaaaayyyy too many posts to manually back up, so it seems worthwhile paying the $29.99 or whatever to get the whole shebang. But I want to make sure it works first.
Here, have a random picture to test its picture-saving capabilities.

There. That should do it.
