I ran mine and "I'm suprised I have more engagement on higher word count posts" is also true! I was also curious about this: "I did find it interesting that I'm often writing at middle to high school level." as apparently I am also. My longest miss was 73 days when my husband died.
But the coolest thing for me was finding all the lost posts! I didn't start saving them until 2019 on my computer. Now I have a winter project: restoring the missing ones to my files.
Thanks so much to both of you, one for creating it and the other for posting about it!
That's a damn good reason not to post my love.
That's amazing... I'm so glad!
What format do you want your posts to be in when you get them on your computer? I wrote a python script so I could get mine out of the chain (for similar reasons, so I have a local copy) and I converted them to markdown files (which is the formatting format used on hive)
I could look at doing a bulk downloader so you get individual files instead of a json or a csv if that would be a helpful feature?
Otherwise, I can run it on your account and send you the files on discord if you hang out there, it won't take me very long to run the script.
Well, you first must understand you are talking to ancient Neanderthal. I'm still running Windows 7 until it no longer works at all. (I did the same with Windows XP Pro.) And because I went to 7 from XP, I'm still using the.doc format. So I write the post in Microsoft Word and put in my photos as .jpgs. I think save the doc to a dated and named file for that day and the photos are also saved in that file separately.
It's mostly the files from 2018 and maybe some in 2019 before I started saving them.
I was on discord, probably still have an account, but found it not user friendly for this old Neanderthal. Not sure I could navigate it well enough to find them...
I think what you did is wonderful! And if I knew how to vote for a witness (totally over my head) I'd vote for you, just because @riverflows said to. :))
Thank you for all your work and help!
To vote for my witness, go here: https://vote.hive.uno/@holoz0r , type in my name, and sign it off with keychain :)
As to getting things into that format - That is the same format I use, but I use a program called Obsidian to organise my posts while I am writing, its a bit different to word, but it is still words :)
The issue with older posts is that not all of the images are "Still around" on the Internet (particularly if you used Steem back in the day).
I will get you an extract of your posts in plain text as separate files (it will be missing the paragraphs, though!) with the date then the title, so they will look like:
DATE_Title.txt, so you can open them in wordpad or notepad, or indeed, MS word - it should save you a lot of time and let you spend your winter doing other things :)
Well, voting was easy! I can manage that!
I've done 5 or 6 posts so far, the only thing is the photos aren't labelled as I had them. But with the post as guide, I can get them set up correctly in word. Maybe some day I will relabel the photos as it helps when I search for them.
I will try what you set up and see if it is faster. Thank you!
Thank you for the vote, I saw that come through shortly before you wrote the reply here! Each time my node signs a block, I get a small amount of Hive Power, but for me, its the joy of having a computer in my house that helps secure the hive blockchain. :) (I am a bit of a technical nerd, but not as much as some people round these parts!)
It is nearing bed time here - so I've written myself a note to get your posts as a text file, I'll zip them up, and I'll upload them somewhere you can download so you've got them all ready to put into word, or whatever system you want to use.
We all have different systems to manage our writing (for those of us that do!) and I find myself writing and organising my posts many days in advance. Since my retrenchment at my job, I've been a prolific writer.
