I started a Blogspot a few months ago as a means for documenting all of my experiments, side projects, and lessons learned.

Unfortunately, it looks like my free site has completely given up. I’m unable to load the site whatsoever, and when editing my posts, all of the images are gone. Amazing.

I’m not even able to use wget to download the site and hang onto my screenshots.

And to top it all off, Blogger has

• No support email
• Deactivated social media accounts
• Incomplete documentation

As a last-ditch effort, I attempted to use my blog settings > manage > back up content to download the site, but the download failed.

Soooo it looks like I’m starting fresh on WordPress. Probably should have done that in the first place, but oh well.

Happy coding, all.

EDIT: I’ve figured out how to rescue my progress pictures. On the Blogger admin view, choose Preview and wait a bit.

Eventually, the preview version of your post will pop up. Right click your desired image, and choose Inspect (on Chrome I think it’s Inspect Element).

Delete the Blogger ClickTrap div if this is the first image you’re saving. Then right click your image, hit Inspect again.

Ctrl+click on the image link, then ctrl+s to save it.
