I always write out my posts in Evernote before I copy and paste it over to LiteracyBase.

I know that I can just write at LiteracyBase but I am not always online, usually offline at certain time.

I will be online for 2 hours and off line another hour.

During that 1 hour, I will write my post in draft at Evernote which is available offline.

furthermore, with the frequent Errors and Internal Server breakdown, it will be wise to save your posts with a software that you can saved in your laptop or cloud.

Besides Evernote, I also use Kingsoft writer which is FREE to use software.

Kingsoft has wordcount whereas Evernote doesn’t

So,  where do you save your posts?

I use LibreOffice, which is a free office suite that replaces MS Office. I’ve been saving my posts offline since I started earning for my writing. More recently, I’ve been synching my saved content on the cloud as well in case anything should happen to my computer.

I save all my posts in a different folders allocated to different sites. I have a collection of almost 10 k+ which I have kept on an external hard disc for my reference and in case a site disappears.

I do not save my posts. I write directly on LB and then just check for the number of words when it gets transferred to ‘word’ There I add if needed and then change to the required font size and copy paste it into LB.

In my entire experience with online I must have written voluminous stuff and if I saved all that it would take up several GBs  Having said that there are a few though which I have saved from those sites where I have no interest to be active.

@peachpurple  Earlier I used to write my posts directly on the site but now I have started keeping backup. So I write my posts first on MSWord and then copy paste it on the site.

@peachpurple, I save my posts in Word Document. Others in Dropbox. Me too write the blog first,save then submit for publication.

I am used to write directly to the writing pad here in LiteracyBase. I just estimate that number of words that I have already written and when I am done I submit it. That is my usual practice to another sites which I am also participating writing. Once I get started, thoughts keep on pouring out. Ideas are flooding uncontrollably.

There is a time I remember I compose my article to a notepad for it has no formatting feature unlike in MS Word when you transfer your post to LiteracyBase it becomes weird or the spacing gets too wide. So I have to edit the article to make it look tidy. Now I am not using it. Nor directly writing it here. My youngest son has a made a simple program which I use to write my post with an accompanying word count.

I have made a post about it for others to use it when they find it difficult to determine the word count of their write-ups.  I call my post, “Word Court Made Easy“. Try to search it in the Net if you are interested to use. If you type it in the search tab, it is displayed in the first page of Google search.

thanks for your share.

I have not heard of this software, is it FOC?

I use evernote and sync it when I am online.

I can write when I am offline too

Only problem is no word count

I also save in external hard drive but 1 tb is not enough.

I think I need more than 5tb for all those data backup

oh, then when a site close down, you have to rewrite everything?

Then, you posts will be a waste, not back up …

I find your posts interesting, you can revamp them for other sites in case the current site closes

yup I use both Evernote and msword to backup all my data.

King office writer is not bad either

opposite with me!

I write at evernote then copy paste to LB because I am always offline when I write my post.

When I am online, I comment more because time is precious to me.

I have 2 hours of blogging only then I have to stop and do household chores and my kids homework

I noticed that too.

If written at msword, the spacing goes off the the font is different, smaller

I wish I could find a software that matches LB

@peachpurple

I have a laptop which is used to write content. Everything is saved using Microsoft Word 2010.

I always used this practice on all websites including expertscolumn, Writedge, Blogjob etc.

It is always recommended to save your work. It is not only 1 website which will crash. Have an organized work. I am working on my personal blog too. Periodically, I turn on backups so that everything is fine. Final content needs to be synced across devices. I have external HDD (~ 1 TB) and everything is saved there as well.

I believe that this is industry involving serious contents and I simply cannot take any risk.

I don’t usually save my posts to anything. I submit directly here. Since I don’t have enough time. I just dribble my fingers on the keyboard and actively participate in every posts I read.
