I’m trying to get back in to keeping a personal journal again. I’ve kept one on and off for most of my adult life but it’s always been in different forms. At the suggestion of the Scientist, I’ve been using Onenote to store the current entries in. While doing this I thought maybe I should start archiving my old stuff in the same place.

So begins the process of copying my old entries from Livejournal, Typepad and Blogger. The latter two, I think, are somewhere on my hard drive. Well, I know at least that Typepad is there because I didn’t want to lose it once I stopped subscribing.

So far I have copied over entries from my first Livejournal account. That only lasted about a year before I started a different one. I can’t recall the reason for the change and there’s nothing in the entries to indicate anything happening. I find that kind of strange because I think I’d have surely would have commented on changes back then.

I haven’t read all the entries properly but just from what I have read, I do regret not keeping it up more fully in recent years. Blogging isn’t quite the same since it isn’t private enough to write things out more fully. Not to mention I haven’t kept up with blogging as much as I’d like.

The second Livejournal account lasted 3-4 years and I wrote more regularly then. It looks like it’s going to be awhile before I get that all archived. My goal after that will be to tag entries properly within Onenote. Just another long-term project, I guess.
