Ok this is cool folks..if you always wanted to backup or download your entire live journal but you never knew how or you knew how but your like me didn’t want to sit there and use the LJ export tool which only allows you to download one month at a time..I have been writing in my journal for 7 years so that would take me hours.

What is ljArchive? It’s a Windows-only exporter for LiveJournal. ljArchive is a tool for downloading, browsing, and analyzing journal entries and comments from LiveJournal (or LiveJournal clones). ljArchive is currently available for Windows, and may soon be coming to gtk/Linux. ljArchive allows you to do the following to your journal:

Download and navigate a synchronized, local archive of your journal or community.
Search through your journal for keywords, and browse through search results immediately.
Export your journal into various formats, such as XML, HTML, PDF (in conjuction with LJBook), and MIDI (yes, MIDI!).

Plus you can.. Run custom plugins on your journal. ljArchive comes with the following plugins: Entry Reader – reads your journal entries aloud using text-to-speech technology. Regressive Imagery Analysis – provides a psychological profile of your journal. Word Count – provides a list of the words used in your journal, and their frequency. Post Frequency – graphs the frequency of your posts over time. Comment Count – graphs the number of comments left by users in your journal, and also how many comments you’ve left them. You can also use it to export your entire journal to an .xml file and import it into a wordpress blog! Download ljArchive

Hello, Sorry it took me so long to respond back to you.You asked “How to export files from LJarchive to a .XML format..
Well..never done it but it appeared easy at first you open LJarchive > go to File > drop down to export > export to XML writer but not sure if it’s asking me to add a name for the file or find the file on my drive.. I’m not sure but every time I create a name to the File Name box it gives me an error and when I try to upload the file it’s asking me for an .xml file format which duh I obviously don’t have because that’s what I’m trying to create! Frustrating indeed. Maybe someone else has some insight I failed you on this question. sorry. Let me know if you figure it out.

Convinced that the history in this alternate universe was in fact a predestined time loop that would eventually repeat itself, the Question decides the only way to derail this possible future permanently is to kill Luthor himself, before he can become president and before Superman can kill him. ,
