Do any of these journal migration tools also preserve posts from your LJ Memories that are from *other people's* journals?

Because I realized that makes up about half the stuff in my Memories.

i used ljsec and it didn't transfer any of my memories at all. i had to go through and do them all manually and that was my own posts. i have fics from other coms and users in my LJ memories that don't get brought over. its only posts in your actual LJ itself that gets copied.

is that what you meant?
Yeah, that's what I meant. :(

I have over 800 memories.
oh noez :( sorry :\
I've got 16400. It's going to be a long transition process for me. :-\
No.

The only migration tools I know for preserving memories are variations of the firefox tool linky - which effectively enables you to bookmark all of your memories fairly quickly.

From that you can export to del.icio.us etc, but it remains a linking system.

There may be a possibility of using a download all, and saving a webpage copy onto your computer but that may not be an effective or neat way of browsing through.
Darn.

Thanks anyway.

Bookmark with Linky and then take screenshots?

Hi! I was wondering if you could explain, or point me in the right direction, of how to get your LJ memories into a del.ici.us account. What's the firefox tool linky you mentioned. Thank you!
It's been way too long since I saw a tutorial and never seen anyone explain an easier way to do so, but this is how it's supposed to work.

Linky.

You can open a category of memories and then with right click -> linky open them all in different firefox tabs with one hit.

Closing the excess you can then go "bookmark all tabs" with firefox.

Then in your delicious settings you can select to import bookmarks. It gives much better instructions there than I can. ^_^;;
Thank you for the speedy reply! :)
No prob! My pleasure/ :)
