Or, if your blog isn\u2019t <em>that<\/em> important, then just make a backup copy, and keep it somewhere. Or, on the other hand, if you are confident of your blog\u2019s popularity, you can simply assume that your devoted readers have memorized and made copies of your content and hung your words as posters on their walls, which they will send to you in the case of accidental or intentional deletion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-6110650946027356051?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am grateful to Mark Goodacre for pointing out the existence of a freeware program called Blogger Backup which allows you to make a backup offline copy of your blog.
