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.

Copy as many as you can the old fashioned way over time. A few a day. I think you should be able to get it done.
@SW-User yes but I don't know where to paste them for storage. That would be awfully arduous but I could do it I guess. I don't know what program would store the longer ones, that's my problem as well

@LadyGrace it sounds awful but if you’re only doing it a few a day then I’d just use any word processor. Should be fine. People write novels with that program (MS word that is)
@SW-User so I would download a MS Word program? I have a work program but for some reason it doesn't work. And I don't know how to use it anymore. I used to use it but I forget how and it seems hard. I don't understand their directions and stuff

@LadyGrace you could probably just use google docs or something you already have access to.
@SW-User okay. Much appreciated. I will try that. Is Google Docs something already included in my Google account or do I have to download it
