Luci,

I don’t know that there’s a way to preserve someone else’s blog as a keepsake because what you’ll need to do is export the content and upload it to the scrapbook utility. You need the username and password for the site to access the dashboard and run the export option.

I teach scrapbooking classes and sell scrapbooks and photo storybooks, and I had a customer ask me about preserving her son’s blog and putting it into a keepsake book. I was going to pass on the information about the two companies you mentioned, but I wondered if your tips for preserving one’s own blog would apply. In other words, is there a way to preserve someone else’s blog? (She wants the book to be a surprise).

In Blogger if you go to the template screen and open the Edit HTML you just copy all that HTML and paste it into a text file. That way it is saved and you just drop it back in there afterwards.

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been wondering how to do that! I SO wish Blogger had a back-up program.

I am using WordPress.com and created the Export file as instructed. The file is 6.6 MB. Are you now going to post information about using this file to create a new blog with a new service? WordPress.com does not allow me to use blurb.com and so I want to transfer to Blogger.

Umm, for those of us who are completely technologically inept, how do you back up the template before backing up the blog?

Thanks.
