Saving your AOL journal to your computer

Go to THIS SITE and do what it says, beginning with the download of Backstreet Browser (it's free). Be patient once you start, because if you've been journaling for awhile, it's going to be downloading for quite a while.

Oh, and this doesn't save your pictures, since they are stored on AOL FTP space. All my pictures are on my computer anyhow... so I didn't lose them entirely, I just lost them from my journal.

I tried accessing some of the downloaded files with my DSL turned off, and there was my journal! It hasn't finished downloading, but I got back as far as May of this year.
