Archiving of my posts at Susans

[barbie]

I am curious whether it is possible to download all of my posts as an archive file here at susans.

When I click "Profile" --> "Summary" --> "Show posts", I see my first post here in 2007, and the total number of page is 232, which means I should click 232 times to retrieve my past posts. Is there any simpler way to retrieve all of my posts within a few clicks?

I desperately need a diary as I forgot most of my past memories.

Barbie did just this few years back (2008?) couldn't find auto software so wind up doing a manual copy of over 2,000 posts that I subsequently deleted . . . How good is your understanding of HTML?

After clicking on your "Show Posts" (or anybody else's) you "View Page Source", "select all / copy / paste" into a searchable editor (I use Ultra-Edit32), strip out all Susan's Place header information based on search keywords then paste what's remaining, just your posts and links, into a local HTML processor. Skip to "Show Posts (pg 2) and repeat . . .

Thanks Kiera for your suggestion. But still I need to click, copy, and paste 232 times, and it is too much. I hope to find another method.

         Too lazy? Feeling brave? Can try this startpage -> ""HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility."" It supposedly strips php scripted MySQL database information to plain linked HTML (same as I said above only automatically) but appears to have issues . . .

It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure.

Wish I had found this years ago when many of my fav web piracy forums were taken OFFLINE due to lawsuits . . .

Thanks, Kiera.

Yes. I am trying HTTrack. There are some options which I am now trying to figure out. BTW, what is the total size of all files at susans.org approximately. If it is < 2 TeraByte, then I may try to download all.
