Did you know that your site (well a snapshot of it’s contents) may well be preserved for posterity?
This remains the case even if you decide to delete your blog and/or website.
Anyone interested in exploring what information is held about their site can visit https://archive.org/ and search for archived material pertaining to their blog.
https://archive.org/is not a substitute for backing up your website (it only collects snapshots of a website’s contents).
It does, however offer a fascinating glimpse into sites, many of which are no longer operative.

This can have another use too! Whenever you go to a website and find it’s not working, just type in
archive.org
and then paste the website URL into it to see if perhaps a past version can be pulled up.
E.G. I’ve had some problems with my http://antibrains.com website over the last few months. BUT… if you enter it into archive.org you’ll not only get the snapshot of my opening homepage, but you will ALSO find that the links on the sidebar of that homepage within the site are all functional and saved as well!

I found that I have been cataloged on the archives.org many times since 2013. They even record how many people at any even time are viewing my blog site here on WordPress. Well, I hope I said something of importance or at least interesting.

My personal recommendation: Is that you consider yourself an integral, albeit, ( necessary) never to be discounted component of the collective.

We should all consider ourselves to be a necessary and never to be discounted component of the American collective. 🙂

I’m pleased in knowing that you agree. So, in that context: (between you and I) putting my modesty aside for a minute: not only have I read a number of unforgettable posts, written by what I consider talented writers here @ Word Press, and elsewhere on the World Wide Web, I’ve managed to write a few myself.
At the risk of redundant, and in that context, we’re in the same boat.
Nuff said …. enjoy your weekend.
