Yes, it took a while. You're welcome.

Back That Thing Up

Did you know Blogger blogs can now be exported?

Say...for backup purposes?

Yes.

http://draft.blogger.com/ is some sort of alternate-reality Blogger dashboard where you can click on Settings, then right there at the top of the screen on the basic tab are options to import, export or (*gasp*) delete your blog.

You get an xml file, with everything--comments, layout, EVERYTHING (she says in her best Gary Oldman). The file can even be imported into other blogs, which is the kind of spiffiness I would have liked eight years ago. In my day, you had to save these things POST BY POST.

I backed up this blog, and it was easy. This entire blog comes in under 5MB. Wow.  Such a drop in the digital bucket.

Back That Thing Up

Up from the ashes.

HAHA, get it, it's Ash Wednesday...um. Testing? This this on?

[edit]: It works! It works! I migrated! Now if only I could resurrect old televisions.

Up from the ashes.

The end is nigh!

No...no...don't be silly. *looks over shoulder*

Blogger has informed me that the time has come to move on with the rest of the world, and switch to new Blogger. So this may be the last you hear from me if I run into the demons I've seen a few others run into.

Especially considering Mercury's retrograde and that's never good for electronics. I've had a TV go all weird on me just this week--but I digress.

I see a few previous posts of mine didn't even go up until today, so that was brilliant. I guess new Blogger can't be much weirder than old Blogger.

The good news is I'll get that dropdown archive thing I wanted a while back. The worst news could be that I can never post here again. If that happens, I'll mention it on my webcomic's LiveJournal, probably with very small and nasty words.

Next post will tell if my account survived. I've got all this backed up...just in case.

*sniffle* I'll miss you.

The end is nigh!
