Oooof

 I just took a backup of my entire LJ, including all the 3000+ photos and comments, using Bookblogger. The result is a massive 724Mb PDF file.

I very much hope that the rumours that the Russian internet will be cut off from the rest of us by a virtual Iron Curtain are untrue. That would be a grim thing, even if the fact that we can all talk so

Hi Bunn. Did you use the paid version of Bookblogger? I tried using the free version and it didn't copy photos. Just left an x where the photos were. I don't want to pay for the better version without knowing if the photos would actually come through. As far as Dreamwidth goes, I tried multiple times over the past several days to copy my posts and comments to it. Tonight it finally worked, but the photos did not come through. Any suggestions?

Yes, I did the standard paid account option at 22 quid, because that promised to include photos at full quality, and it did get most of them, except where I had posted several photos in a row with no text between them, where it caught the first photo in the list

Oh that's good to know that it reproduced photos well. The images finally did come over from LJ, but then they disappeared. Now they're back again, so must have to do with LJ's server. I'll figure out how to deal with uploading the images. Baranduin said she does it from her computer, so I poked around and found the link on DW. However, as you know, it requires filling out the sizes. I remember we used to have to do that on LJ, so I'll just have to figure it out again. The whole Ukraine situation is utterly heartbreaking and is pretty much impacting everyone to some degree. Thanks for the help.
