Default Umbrella Journal Going Offline


Umbrella Journal will go offline on September 5th. I've been paying for hosting since its last issue in 2012. Poets, if you need to, please copy or take a screenshot of your work. You can always use the search engine to find it!

Sorry to hear that, Kate. There's so much good stuff there.

Do you mind my asking what host you are using? If it were Wix, for example, you could simply switch to a free plan that doesn't use your own domain, and they would keep it up indefinitely with little Wix branding logos at the bottom of each page.

I stayed with an outfit called ICD Soft which I selected way back in 2006. The content management software is defunct and could not even be transferred to a different hosting platform. Time to say goodbye.

I just copied the entire website to my computer using a free program called Cyotek WebCopy. You and others may wish to do the same. I never copied a website before, but this seems to have worked beautifully. What I now have looks exactly like Umbrella/Bumbershoot and allows me to click around freely from page to page. I don't even have to be on the internet now to access the entire site. The site takes about 52MB on my hard drive.

Alas, now people will have to get my book - to be out soonish. Furthermore, I miss your wit on Eratosphere.

Seriously? That's fantastic. Is there any way you can wing that to me or do I have to go through the motions? Wouldn't that hog the ol' hard drive? I'm not sure how big 52MB is.

I could figure out a way to get you the files, but I'm not entirely sure if it would work the same way on your computer because I don't know if the relative position of the internal hyperlinks would remain the same. It might. But the safest thing to do is to download that program I mentioned and then download a copy of the site onto your computer the way I did. I don't know how much free space you have on your hard drive, but 52MB isn't a huge amount at all (many people have 100 times that amount of storage on their phones they're using for snapshots). It would easily fit on even the smallest and cheapest available thumb drives these days.

It's a lovely journal. A really beautiful design - particularly given that it started before the web got all dialogic & slick.

And such gorgeous poetry, too. The Carmine Street special is amazing.

I hope it's on the Wayback Machine - https://archive.org/web/

If it isn't I'd happily contribute if people needed funds to place it there (I don't think you do though)

Thank you so much! I think the Wayback Machine has probably got it!
