Archiving Your Myspace BlogA month or so ago I was complaining to my partner (a computer programmer) that backing up my blog on MySpace was a real hassle. Unlike for LiveJournal, there didn't seem to be any MySpace blog archiving and posting software out there. Backing up by hand was getting to be so time consuming that I often didn't bother to do it. Plus, there was no way to back up all the comments my friends have so helpfully posted. My partner is a wonderful person, and he wrote a script to back up my blog. It worked great and I thought maybe other folks could use it, so I bugged him to make it generally available. I think it's a time and aggravation-saver if you want to back up a blog where you've posted a lot of entries. Plus, the nifty archive format lets you navigate your MySpace blog archives on your own computer and creates cool index and category pages to make it easier for you to search through your posts. Check it out at http://www.spacewrapper.com. If you like the service, feel free to pass the information around to your friends, post it in your blog, etc., so that everyone who wants a full copy of their MySpace blog on their own home computer can have one.

Posted by: anthony at July 17, 2007 3:02 AM No, it definitely doesn't delete your blog! It just downloads your archive and reformats it so you can store it on whatever computer you want. But your MySpace blog remains exactly as you left it on the MySpace server.
