IE, Safari, and Chrome all have similar methods. If you need help, let me know what browser you're using and I'll try to track down the directions.

Thanks for the info! I just saved mine to my external as I read your directions. That will save me I'm sure when we upgrade our computer.

:( :( Sorry this happened :( :(

I'm so sorry. When computers work, they are wonderful, and when they don't, well, we feel like this! Do you know or can you find a computer person who would know or might be able to find at least some of you info?

I'm sorry that happened. Every once in a while I back up my files to disk. I had this happen to me once too and I lost hundreds of bucks. A very expensive lesson no doubt.

Use google bookmarks! They are kept online, you can't lose them . Also get Carbonite and never lose files or pictures again.

That is why I started saving my links on the free blogs, they will always be there and have them in catergories by labels.

My other computers crashed twice so I learned the hard way, now I save them on the free blogs.

If you need any help finding some of your old links, just send me a private message so I can help you find some of them again.

Also you can use the "my pages" features here on the quilting board site to save the links that I and others post for all of us to enjoy.

I am working on another blog again just for quilting resources, free patterns etc.

Yep, happened to me a few times and I still forget to make backups. Will take Earthwalkers advice and put them on disk. Sorry this happened to you too.

I feel your pain. I'm waiting on my new computer (on the laptop now). My hard drive caught fire!!!! I had a lot of free embroidery designs that I hadn't backed up yet.

I save mine to a cd so if my computer crashes, I still have them. You can also use an external hard drive to back up your files. I have been comtemplating on getting one for a while now. Could you also use a flash drive? I'm not that computer savvy but someone here on this board might know.
