Save your journal!
In a comment to my last entry, purple_pen made me aware of the existance of a truly wonderful tool: LJ Archive.
This little program not only backs up all on its own your your entries, pictures and comments, it also updates itself every time you open it. And lets you browse comfortably through your own journal also off line.. wonderful particularly for those like myself who still have problems with LJ loading painfully slowly.
I think in times like these everybody who treasures the memories and effort put into their journal should consider this step, which is also amazingly easy and fast (it took me 10 minutes to archive 4 years and a half of LJ. Something like 4500 entries. Incredible).
Only downside: It only works for Microsoft. I have no idea if there exists a similar backup tool for other platforms.
