Preserving one's Tumblr legacy

This week I'm talking about Tumblr and the back ups I have them in event of things going awry.
This week I have been working across the Tumblr back ups working on Schoolboy Forever and That Traditional Schoolboy which are on Wordpress apart from Scouting and Me which is a side blog you can access from this  blog.

Each has a different start point and purpose in that starting with That Traditional School, it is in the main a secondary back up of my main Tumblr, the first being on 2mblr.com which at present doesn't allow fresh posting but does periodically update automatically.
As my Primary Tumblr, this isn't just reblogs of images, it has thinks such as links to the main long form blogger blog and many of the entries have commentary which is unique to me and that matters as a reflection of my thoughts and notes about past life.
Because 2mblr.com seems to running rather late in establishing the ability to make fresh posts so I can phase out the Tumblr with all the issues and politics that goes with it, the main reason I keep an update on Wordpress is because if the worst  comes to the worst on Tumblr and I'm banned or terminated, I can always post  on that until things resolve themselves.

Schoolboy Forever really was the first Wordpress blog I had being established a month later than the main Tumblr and fulfills a different function as The Traditional Schoolboy 2 as a tumblr was established as my main Tumblr had become a group blog having the odd guest posting but had lost the ability to send messages and asks so I needed something to that on and it was the case someone had an old Tumblr they were prepared to hand to me  and so it became mine.
Sadly that was wiped out in November last year so I ended up making a new version  and as within a month of that the changes around content and use of A.I systems were causing major problems, I decided as this had less entries than The Traditional Schoolboy on tumblr did by a large margin to prioritize backing that up on Wordpress while sorting out the importing of The Traditional Schoolboy to 2mblr.com first as there was more of a need to preserve it.
What the importing of That Traditional Schoolboy2 did in effect was to provide the content of the started but uncompleted Wordpress blog  and to manually transfer over most of the newer posts by hand but with a lot more commentary as I had more time to express my thoughts.
One area that has become more problematic on tumblr is both publication of pictures with sizable amounts of bare skin even if the posts are very much safe for work and anything around the role of spanking in age regressed adult little boy and specifically adult schoolboy lives.
This is an issue if like me it *is* part of your life even if you don't post all the time about and even keep posts sfw so it's a spot when I can not just restore as I did some of the posts that were lost with the changes in December but also to discuss openly the topic.

Scouting and Me really started the other way around with a load of issues on Tumblr I was fighting, I started to think about writing something less frequent around scouting, the connection cub scout had in my childhood and how channeling the spirit of being a cub scout was helping me.
I decided in the main to actually write more long form on blogger but using some images I had found on the likes of Tumblr expressing that and of the three that is so much a spiritual love letter between scouting and myself that I post over on to Tumblr.
It's really the third blog between the main That Uniformed Schoolboy which is the whole thing childhood pasts and present day adult little boy presents as that eternal ten year old boy and this That Traditional Schoolboy's Dorm which more around my feelings emotions talking also about spanking in my life as the reins have been handed back to the level I function best at.
