How to Backup your Tumblr

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. 
Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month)
2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog)
3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it)
4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not)
5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything. 

this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

Give this a shot! I have been using tumblr-utils for a while now and absolutely recommend it, as well as taking a look at some of the more advanced options it has (such as backing up posts of only a certain type, saving a particular tag, saving your liked posts, etc. – it’s well documented, and with the guide linked in the OP shouldn’t be hard to get started with).

The one thing I have sadly yet to find anywhere is a simple way to back up replies and notes (and of course the lovely screaming in reblog tags people do a lot of).

@thoughtfulfuri here’s another post that’s more or less the same as that one video post I reblogged. They’re all saying it doesn’t save notes or replies though, so idk if that’s a factor for you.

Hello! Ok so I totally went on a binge of buying nice button-down shirts and I ended up with a shirt that I thought was my size but, in fact, was not! It’s a really pretty kind of uh royal blue? It’s kind of like a medium-ish color but more on the bright side of blue. Going off the fact that it doesn’t fit either me or the other adults here, I’m erring on the side of caution and saying it’s a KID’S XXL NOT an Adult XXL. The neck size is 18. The shoulders were a little tight on my nephew but he is also on the tall and gangly side so someone with maybe a petite build could fit it ok, or take it in? I know it’s all wrinkly but it’s super clean I promise! I do live in a home that has cats so like there shouldn’t be hair on it but cat hair does get e v e r y w h e r e; if you’re allergic at all maybe skip this one? 

At any rate I can’t do anything with it other than donate it or idk sell it on ebay but I thought I’d throw it up here for y’all first! It’s totally free except like maybe shipping? I mean if someone really wants it and you’re super hard up for cash I’ll just ship it to you, no problem. 

Silverleaf 8: The Big Bang

So many thanks to Ben on Patreon for sponsoring this series! Feel free to leave a thank you on this post! Or just leave me a comment, because my ego must be fed. All of Silverleaf is here.

The lights hung in hazy contemplation in the darkness of the wine bar, warm and intimate, glowing like stars against the ceiling. Haruka wanted to say something about them, about they reminded her of Van Gogh, of the way everything was filtered through that unreality of beauty. Haruka wanted to tell her being around Michiru was like that, sometimes, that the world got a little more beautiful, and a little less real, in the halo of her presence.

“I have a cat!” was what she said. “His name is Mouse.”

Michiru looked across the table at her, her head tipped in that slightly bemused way. “An interesting way to begin to tell me about yourself, but I do love novelty.”

“I’m a gym teacher.” You teach at the same school, idiot, “I majored in Phys Ed,” shocking. You’re so brilliant, “Uh, I used to run a lot?” It’s a wonder you’re single.

“May I assist you with the wine list?” The waiter asked.

“Oh please god yes.” Haruka burst out.

Ok but that looks like some ill-advised alien race from Star Trek or … I don’t know. But it’s not good.

Deovriel sounds like a Dr Who villain.
