Information sought

A question for bloggers using blogspot.com?

Should I wish to, I know how to delete my blog.

How can it be saved before deletion?

I can't tell you how to do that, Lindsay, but I hope you're not going to stop blogging?

No Mark. You'll think I am a bit ghoulish but along with instructions about being a donor it suddenly occurred to me I should make provision for my blog. Prompted by the SST and their plastering the Facebook info of the Dunedin student over their front page today. It can't be very pleasant for her family.

what you could do is set up another blogger blog, cut and paste the original template to that URL and make it private so only your friends can see it.

You could export the whole lot to a new blog on WordPress.org, they might have better backup tools than Blogger

There is an option to delete the blog in the Administration section. It's a button down the bottom of one of the config pages.

You need to back up both data and templates. The templates have a backup option on the template config area.

There are a few different ways of backing up the posts and comments.

Here's one link to read: Backup a blogger blog

Oh, and the attached link includes a mention of backing up your photos on the blog etc.

Google have a free photo site called Picasso. If you create an account on Picasso with your blogger ID you'll be able to see all of your blog photos and manage them from there.

You can create private and public photo galleries from this account.

Sorry - one more thing: And always test your results. Things like "read more" javascript code etc can give you only a partial backup.

Also, there is an option in blogger to send every post and every comment to an email address. That's a secondary way of backing up as you go.

You can set up email rules to file automatically.

I published my blogspot blog (NZB3) to a server. In doing so all files, images too, were individually stored so that one could simply drag and drop those files onto desktop.

Could do that.
