Did you guys see OhLife was closing? I am so bummed! I loved using that site to record my daily journaling. I just got an email that they are closing on October 4th. :(
 
Yes, I just got the same email. :( I haven't used it in a long time, but I love reading what I was doing X amount of days ago. :( Working on exporting my entries now.
 
I just got it too. I haven't used it in close to 2 years but I'm definitely going to export my journals.
 
I just finished exporting my entries. I haven't used it for awhile, but always liked going back to read what was going on when I did.
 
I just looked and I stopped using it in April of this year, but I'm still sad that it is closing.
 
I was dissappointed as well Karen! :( I used it semi-regularly - seems like I went in spurts, but it would be nice if there was another way to preserve what is in there besides just exporting it our like their email mentioned. Like - would be great if there was a little book I could print it to...does anyone know of anything like that with OhLife.
 
I've been thinking about even just pulling all my entries into a Word document and putting each of the dates in bold and then printing that out. I think you can do your own books with Lulu.com, but I've never done it and have no idea where to start. I think they do wire bound books that are relatively cheap and I think that way would look kinda like a notebook and would be a fun way to save all those entries I did do. I had 989 journal entries when I exported!
 
i am bummed too .... i use it in spurts (or when something interesting happens LOL) - but it was my favorite way to keep a record of what was going on in my life. :( i'll miss it! maybe exporting my entries will give me a push to finish up some PL pages from the past! (haha - i keep thinking i will be able to go back and get things done ... )
 
I got rid of my account a couple months ago because I had stopped using it. I copied all my entries to my blog. Each one has a separate post. It filled in a lot of gaps that I had on my blog. I plan on printing my blog through blurb. Sad to see oh life shut down even though I wasn't using it.
 
I am sad to see OhLife go the way of the dinosaurs. I was a sporadic user of it, but I loved getting my nightly reminders of what happened 283 days ago or whatever. I will definitely be exporting my entries.
 
I thought of lots of my fellow scrappers who had used it religiously when I got the email.
Karen--989!!! wowzers!

I was never consistent, so it didn't really impact me much :)
 
Well, I am sad I hadn't heard about it earlier, lol. So I am bumped about that!

That's sad but I think it's great that they're offering the zip of your posts. Some sites would just go poof! and not do that. I've been pretty consistent and happy with DayOne but often thought of downloading my entries in addition to using them as reminders for my Project Life.
