An important lesson about saving content

When creating content that you are going to post on a free service (like tumblr.com, googlepages.com, wordpress.com, etc…), you may want to store a copy of that content on your computer.

Today tumblr.com went through and shut down several hundred new accounts belonging to the people from the 30 day challenge. I am certain that some percentage of those people wrote their content directly in the edit box on tumblr. Had they instead written their content in a text editor (yay, Ultra Edit) and saved it, they would be able to easily add that content to some other page rather than having to re-write the entire article.

When you don’t have control over the environment where you are placing your content, take that in to consideration ahead of time to save yourself some real grief later on.
