amethyst73For the portion of my friendslist who haven't seen this already, there's been some kerfuffle about LJ firing its American coding staff and concerns that this signifies imminent collapse. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bryant (friend of a friend) put together a useful post with links and instructions on how to back up your LiveJournal entries and comments. Since I've got a good 2 years worth of stuff on here, I figure backing up is a good plan anyway; I used ljdump, which generates XML files of the entries and the comments. It would take some reconstructing to put it all back the way it was, but presumably one could do it. The most important thing for me is saving all that text!
