I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.
For a while now I’ve chosen to believe that JKR has approximately the understanding of wizarding history and international politics that the average British witch of her age would.
I.E. she slept through Binns’ class and barely scraped a passing grade, and maybe has some idea of what’s going on in western Europe but is relying entirely on hearsay, rumor, and propaganda for her understanding of even modern day wizarding societies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, let alone the magical history of those regions.
No one especially not a writing aid website is going to convince me that adverbs and passive voice are always bad. I mean, I can use passive voice to show a character’s lack of agency, or that they are apathetic. And I don’t see why it would be bad for a character to say “this will happen eventually” or “he looked fine physically”. and there are a lot of other situations in which using those things is probably okay.
