scarlettinaI know that a number of people on my flist weren't on LJ the last time this information was disseminated, so I'm here to share this valuable service with everyone.
Like any web site, LJ is subject to the whims of technology, wonky software, and corporate dictate. That means that you have your LJ only so long as LiveJournal is a service on the Web. To archive your LJ in a really nifty way, you might want to pop over to Lulu's LJ archiving service and use their tool to save your LJ as a PDF on your own hard drive. It's free. I've got one volume for each year I've been journaling, and I've saved them off my hard drive onto disc. You might want to try it to. (At some point, I'll kill some trees and print the whole damn thing out, but that's for another day).
Thus endeth the PSA.
