• Archiving your Xanga Part 2

  This is a little trickier because it depends on what browser you're using, and what settings are on your computer. I can only show you what it looks like on mine and hope it's enough.

  This is what it looks like in Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 Machine.

  When I click on the archive.zip file

  A box opens on the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to open or save or cancel. I choose the arrow next to Save.

   

  

  

  And I do a Save AS - then I choose a place to save my folder, I chose my desktop.

  
  This is what the file looks like on my desktop. Now I will right click on it with my mouse and the menu that pops up should have a command that reads Extract All. You may also try double left clicking. This may automatically use the Extract All command on your computer.

  

  It will then ask you where you want to extract all of the files to. I left mine at default and it created all of the files inside of a folder called Archive.

  

  This is what should now show up in your folder. Each of these links is a file full of my blogs for that month/year. When I double click it will open in my browser so I can view them.
