So far, I've written 3629 posts, mostly spiritual, and want to keep a majority of them.

There are members of my family that would like to have them and I thought about putting them in a little book, and I'm afraid that if SW ever closes down, I will lose them all, and I worked so hard on them. I have inquired quite some time ago, if there's some way they could gather my posts and send them to me for safe keeping, but they said there wasn't.

I don't have a program that will allow longer posts to be copied and stored as they only allow so many characters of course, so I don't know what program I could get that is easy for me to understand so that I could copy some posts here if necessary, though that would take forever, but at least I could save some, but don't know what program I could use to store them. With the format here, there's no way to store them on my hard drive. I'm not familiar enough with the Word program, to store them there. I don't know how to do all that stuff and I don't know how to open zip files. I've tried that before. Isn't there some kind of a journal application that I could use to both write long articles, and keep them and others that I've written here, on file? It really upsets me that I'll lose them all.

I suppose you could screenshot them, but for thousands of posts, that sounds like an arduous task.
@uncalled4 screenshot and then save them where

@LadyGrace Your phone, computer, you could probably fill up a hard drive with screenshots. That's the quick and dirty way. But I'd ask the admins if anything is downloadable first.
@uncalled4 I don't know how that works with the hard drive I'm sorry. That sounds like a good idea but I don't know how to process that all. Open up my hard drive and then click on what? Where do I go and how do I save it? I did ask them and they said there wasn't away for them to send them to me so I could save or copy them.

@LadyGrace Going forward, it's probably better to write posts in a program like Word or Excel and have the SW post be a copy of THAT. This way, you can keep a copy no matter what.
@uncalled4 I think you're right about that. I have something on my tablet called memo and I write my posts there but then after so many characters it doesn't let you finish what you want to write. My word program doesn't work for some reason. It's very frustrating. And I don't know how to use Excel. I'll try to see if I can figure it out.

@LadyGrace It will be worth it from this point forth.
@uncalled4 I could pull my hair out hahaha I went to Excel and it says this application doesn't work on your tablet. 😡😡😡😡🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@LadyGrace So apparently, your tablet does not Excel. har har har 😃
@uncalled4 it definitely doesn't and it's a Samsung Galaxy!
@uncalled4 the reviews on that app aren't sounding good at all, so I didn't download it. Apparently it's not as good as it used to be

@LadyGrace There has to be an easy and affordable solution. I mean, I use notepad because I don't care about formatting.
