Viable solution to keeping all your content if HP goes dark

    Through a novelist/writer I trust and follow, I discovered a site called Authory that builds, archives, backs up, and automatically adds to your portfolio. They have a free version, one that costs just $12 USD/month, and a professional option costing just $18 USD/month. I think it's worth looking into given the downward spiral HP has taken and will undoubtedly continue to take until it disappears of the face of the 'net.

    Here's the link:

    Please take the time to peruse the site to see if it sounds like a viable solution for you and your creative works.

    Peace,

        You're welcome, Patty. I took a cursory glance at the site. I'll do a deeper dive in the near future.

      Portfolios are an excellent idea.

          Thank you, Shauna. Most likely, I will use my other website to promote myself. That is after I move my articles over from HP.

            Great idea, Kenna. I think Authory might be an option for those who do not have a website.

    Thank you, Shauna. This is worth checking out.

      I thought so too, John. Especially given the state of HP. I wouldn't doubt if it "goes dark", as is how radio and TV stations are described when they permanently go off the air, in the not-too-distant future.

    It is certainly looking that way, Shauna. There is no real incentive to write here any more and provide TAG more material to repurpose, for no payment.

    I'd rather have my material backed up as hard copies. The problem with relying on a site like this is that either you'll hit the limitations of the free version, or they'll start charging you at some point.

    What is Authory? Is it a website or an App?
