With that being said, I have a question that has been bugging me for the past week or so. Does anyone know an easy way to back up this blog? I realized the other day that I have been writing this blog since February 2004 (crap, that means I missed the 4 year anniversary of the blog!) and there is a lot of stuff I would hate to lose. Part of me wants to print it off and put it in a big book and publish it. But then the rest of me knows that I'm much too lazy to do that. I would like to back it up to data files somehow. Any ideas anyone?

Hey Rob and Tina ..
I use webgrabber to nab my site off of blogger - it downloads the whole thing and stores it locally on your computer. This one is for MAC only though .... http://www.epicware.com/webgrabber.html
but there is also httrack that works with windows ... have no idea how it works though .... http://www.httrack.com/
past those two options there's the blogger way of doing things ... but it looks rather complicated and seems like it could go wrong pretty quickly ... http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=41447
hope this helps

There used to be a site called Blog Binder that could turn your blog into a bound book, however I just looked them up and they are no longer in business.
Lulu.com lets you make one copy books (or more). Not sure how easy it is to transfer a blog as one though. Good luck.
It's pretty neat to see where people are from - but sometimes the information is not quite correct. I think I'm listed as being from Duvens, Varmlands Lan (?) which is not true. This seems to be a common problem with services like this - my own gives some pretty wild locations for persons in Sweden.
As for doind a back-up on the blog - here's someone else who wants to know how to do it!
Great blog, just discovered it this week.
I back up my blog with a recursive download. A little rough around the edges (you get the data, but it's EXACTLY what's on the page), but at least it's backed up.
I have a Mac, I fetched my entire blog with wget on the command line. There are a couple solutions I've seen recommended for Windows. I haven't tried these, but they supposedly work:

These are all variations on the main theme, but they ought to work just fine.
