Digital Sentiment
Sigh. This is the third time I've been upset about this problem.
I want to back up my old blog for sentimental reasons, but I don't understand MySQL or phpMyAdmin at ALL, and I don't understand how backing up a database will give me access to my blog once the website has been put down ('to sleep'). I've tried reading up on how to do it, but the instructions just make me feel sick to my stomach. The reality hits me that even if I back up the blog successfully, the chances are 0.0001% that I'll be able to view it again, and I feel sick that I'm throwing away some important memories.
Although I tend to throw out a lot of things in real life, I wish there was some way to keep my blog accessible even after the website is down. I tossed my last two blogs without much regret, but in this last blog, we got Pan-pan and got married. I want to keep it! I wish it could be in a book that can sit on my shelf.
If it comes down to it, I'll print out some select entries or something. I'll try backing up the database, probably early next week. Fingers crossed, people!
