How long are posts archived?
-
So, I thought about making a blog over the course of 18 years. Really its more like a diary intended to be given to someone on their 18th birthday. This is assuming I’m alive then and that wordpress still exists. (Perhaps by then we’ll all be jacked into a nueral net anyway.)
– How long will Archives go back?
– Whats the best way to back up my blog? Export?
– Does Export include any uploaded media like pics and videos?
– Could I take this Export and “convert” it to another medium besides wordpress (not how, just do the tools/methods exist)?
– Would I be better off going with wordpress.org?Would such a project be better done with another medium? I do recognize that in the future I may decide I like blogging and open up the blog to public viewing etc.

1. Archives go back as far as you need them to.
2. You can export an importable version of your blog from Tools -> Export in your Dashboard.
3. No, unfortunately you’d have to download the files individually if you wanted to back them up. If exported/imported to/from a WordPress blog, all attached media files would be automatically transferred.
4. Unfortunately, no, but some platforms do allow you to import from a WordPress export file.
5. That depends on specifically what you need. There are definitely some big differences: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
