My blog is down and as a result I cannot backup my old posts. But I subscribe the RSS in my Google Reader, and I can access my old posts through Google Reader still. Is there any software or solution to save my old posts from Google Reader's RSS cache?

Many thanks.

After trying some softwares I finally find that FeedDemon useful. I created a new Google Reader account and subscribed the blog rss, then starred all the articles, then I ran FeedDemon to download starred articles to local computer and export them as newspaper.

you should accept your own answer. that seems like as good a way as any to solve this problem. – Colin Pickard Feb 28 '10 at 15:27

Maybe a bit late, but if your blog was up long enough it might be archived at http://web.archive.org.

I had a similar problem at a certain point in time. As a matter of fact, I even asked a question here about it, but for some reason I can't find it now.

Instead of my own, I was trying to save contents of other people's blogs, for safe keeping. And it basically comes down to this:
- you can use google reader in offline mode (with gears) <-- haven't tried
- you can use feed demon to save blogs locally <-- tried, used for some time, then gave up (was too hooked up on google's "way of work")
- you can use the firefox extension called FireShot, which can save the entire page (not just what's on screen) as an image file <-- this is the option I've been using and am really happy with it (however, I do not save my own blog, so my demands in archiving probably differ from yours)

If you do find any better solution than feed demon, do let us know in here :)
