[NOTICE] Enhanced "Portfolio Export" Options

Greetings Members!

We've expanded our Portfolio Export system to include more options. Linked from the Site Tools navigaiton menu, Portfolio Export provides members with the means to export a large portion of their portfolio quickly and easily. The export system will include Static Items, Books and Web Pages.

After choosing an export format, the export system can now generate either a single textarea with the contents of your portfolio within it, a single text file with the contents of your portfolio or a ZIP file that contains each of your portfolio items as its own file. The following data export types are available:

* Copy and Paste Textarea: You can copy the entire contents of your exported portfolio and then paste it into a local word processor on your computer. This export process makes keeping a local copy of your writing convenient and fast. (Note: Due to web browser limitations, this option may not work correctly for larger portfolios.)

* Export as a Text file: With this option, the system will general a single .txt file with the entire contents of your portfolio within it. Your web browser should prompt you to download this file to your computer. If it does not, save the resulting page as your portfolio .txt file.

* Export as a .ZIP archive file: This will create a single, downloadable .zip file with the entire contents of your portfolio. The .zip file will contain each portfolio item as it's own file in whichever format you have selected, either .txt or .html

Please remember that Writing.Com recommends that you write and store all of your work directly on your computer and then upload the work to Writing.Com. Doing this helps to ensure that your first drafts and/or changes are never lost in a connection error between our web site and your computer.

Enjoy!
