If you love a website, back it up

quote [ I work in web archiving, by the way. Which is to say that I should have known the site would go offline someday, and that I have the tools to have done something about it. I could have archived that site while it was still around, but I didn’t. This post is here to beg you to do what I didn’t think to, and to teach you how. ]

I should post more, considering this site has become something of a second brain.
