Given the potentially disturbing news that LJ have cut over 2/3rds of their workforce today can anybody suggest to me a good LJ Archieving tool (with links) so I can back-up my various LJs (primarily this one) pronto.
Hopefully it's nothing but in the current economic climate it's entirely possible we might be waving bye to LJ if we're unlucky (I really hope not though as I still prefer this as a blogging site to anything else I've used. I love Facebook - but for completely different reasons to LJ).
Also, for those of you out there on Facebook I am on there (just search for Angus Abranson) so if LJ does have problems you can keep in touch there. Please feel free to friend me :) If the worst case scenario does come about then I'll be looking at keeping a blog going 'somewhere' - just don't know where - so if anyone has any suggestions regarding an LJ-like blogging site (what's Word Press like?) please let me know. Ideally I'd like something that a number of friends will also be on that will allow easy access and browsing for friends latest blog entries similiar to LJ's Friends Page.
Anyway, please send me backup options + other blog options!!!! And I'll keep my fingers crossed I won't really need them!

Will ask around as regards archiving apps and suchlike.
Blogger works nicely I guess for simple blogging. I dunno. I've used LJ for so long, but have almost avoided it for the meme-y/ spam-y signal to noise ratio (recently coming back for human interaction as I work from home. Ahh the life of the FT freelancer!)
VOX is another site made by the creator of LJ, but I have little faith in the smaller outfits surviving the economic weirdness. That said, you can apparently port over all yout LJ content from LJ to VOX.
I wouldn't recommend MySpace to someone I hated, much less you. MySpace is even more in-yer-face spam-y than Facebook or LJ combined.
Run those maths past me? :p
May use another that seems to convert everything into a PDF file too (although I can't remember the name off hand).
May as well have multiple backups in multiple formats just in case!
PDF book one :)
Lots of info on things ;-)
Find it, open a journal on each of the listed sites, post once to blogit and it syndicates to all of your journals.
