Always ask the Experts Didn't know where to post this or ask this Question......but everybody seems to check this board. So.....I want to "save" some of my posts from SG..... Ya know??....the really Good ones, where I sound kinda smart & reasonably intelligent??? Where my understanding or advice actually helped someone & they helped me......Where my heart, my tears were right "out there" for all to see?? "This" has been my diary, my lifes journal since Melvin died.....my heart, my soul, All my Truths.....are on this website & I want to save them. When the site went down in '05....I lost some things I wrote, that I didn't remember until I started "saying" them again. I've looked many times to find my post about Melvin's 13th birthday & can't find it......if anyone does run across it.....Please save it for me??? ANYWAY .......How do I save my posts??? I've asked my hubby to do it, but....well, he's a "man" & has other more important things to do & besides....for some stupid reason, he seems to think I UNDERSTAND computers !! ROTFLMAO!!!!! ha. Any help??? Please??? judiann

May sound silly but sometimes i just hi-light the text and copy and paste it into a Word doc. That way i can date it and print it out. I know theres a way to save the screen/page in your file option on your browser though...maybe play aroumd with that menu and im sure you will find it! Lol i hope someone can help you out better though!! XOXOXO

Do you have a printer hooked up? While you have this page up click the right side button on your mouse. In the menu that comes up it should say 'print this page' as one of the options. It should also say 'save this page as...' as an option. With that you can save it to your 'documents' file. Hope i didnt confuse you more! XOXOXO

Another option is to download a free program called pdf creator. pdfcreator will then appear as an option when you hit "print" under "file" at the top of your browser. when you want to save a post, you just "print" it to pdf creator, and it will save it on your computer as a pdf document. pm me if you'd like more information.

I've created a "Blogger" account for the same reasons. What I do is copy and paste my posts in there. Its like an online journal. sometimes i even copy what people have said to me that has motivated or comforted me in some way.
When I google it, it says: "Blogger is a free blog publishing tool from Google for easily sharing your thoughts with the world."
but I keep mine private so no one can read it without my approval.
To Copy: Highlight desired text on your keyboard hit ctrl & "C" at the same time
To Paste: Go to the place you want to paste it (blogger post) on your keyboard hit ctrl & "v" at the same time
