Who knows what 2025 will bring?

For anyone who has kept a blog as long as I have (it will be twenty years in February), there is a lot of personal history and writing that you may want to preserve. This blogger platform has been so great for my needs, but I can't help feeling how much I would have to lose if Google could no longer support it.

I have taken action over the past few years to copy most of the posts that I have made (leaving out the ones that only have links, or leaving out the parts of the posts that point to links) into document files and export them as PDF files. I keep those files on my computer, and also have them saved in Dropbox.

If you want to see how I have done it, you can go to this post.

You can also use sitesucker to download everything as you would see it online.

Is there an advantage to using sitesucker rather than just using Blogger's option to download everything in an .xml file?

I didn’t know there was an .xml option! Thank you for adding that as another way to do this!
