  I’ve created a seasonal page that I’d like to recreate next year, but it’s outdated now and I’d like to remove it. Is there any way to store or save the page before removing it from my blog?

  I suppose there are several ways, but the best one for you would probably be to just set it as Unpublished (Draft). That way it’s still right on your Dashboard and you can copy the text and image and just update it for when you want to do the new version.

  Sorry, I wasn’t clear I think: I’ve already published the pages (for example, Summer Outdoor Movies) but would like to take it down until next summer. I want to keep the page somewhere, though, rather than just saving the info as a Word document … is this possible?

  “Taking it down” is exactly what raincoaster is suggesting. By Unpublishing it, the pages are saved as Drafts and still appear in your Pages list on your Dashboard. You can edit and re-publish them at anytime, next summer, for that matter.

  Oh! Sorry to be so dense, that works perfectly! Thanks very much to both of you!
