Dear Me...

One time that bloop crashed I lost everything. And sadly I had kept telling myself download it to computer to save my entries. And sure enough I procrastinated too long. It's such a sick feeling in your stomach to lose all that stuff.

download? how does that work? please do tell me more...

Go to 'manage my diary' and then stay on 'my diary' and it's the 3rd link. 'download diary'. It saves all your entries to your computer in a folder.

yeah but where does it go where can i find those entries?

Once you download it, it gives you the option to view it and to download zip file. Click the download zip file. Then you can click on that once it saves to the computer and view it.

after its downloaded*

Hold on, lemme do it and I'll tell you step by step

I know. FreeOpenDiary (I think it's just opendiary now) crashed and I lost everything I had written from the age of twelve up. I cried my heart out because it had been a difficult time but there had been some good that came out of re-reading it. And then I'd lost another one on livejournal but only really left after that huge dibacle of them deleting any diarists who didn't adhere to a certain age standard. I've learnt my lesson before, but this time I think I'm actually going to do something about it.

Me too! I was soooo attached to my old one. I'm not as attached to this one. It doesn't have my "life story" in it

bloop have crashed twice that i know of... one of those times we didnt get things back...

*~Amber~*

I heard about those times. Luckily I've never had a serious diary on it when it did. But, I don't want to go through that again so I'm going to look into a good back-up one. Any ideas?

you can download your diary so you don't lose your entries. Some people do it like once a month. Just to be safe.
