Blog as Journal

I know a few others get part of their motivation for blog posting in their desire to keep something of a family journal.  Getting it on your blog is only half of the process.  Getting it in a more permanent form where you have permanent access to it would be the second half.  I have found the best option is to print it as a PDF file.  An easy way to do that is to use the following free program http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/.  Once installed you treat it like a virtual printer.  Instead of printing your blog on paper through your Canon printer, you tell the web browser to print your blog via the "PDFCreator" printer that will show up in your printer list after it is installed.  Since there obviously isn't a printer, you won't get anything printing out from anywhere, but what it will do is send the printing information to the program and turn it into a PDF.  Try it out and make your blog posts permanent.
