  protection

  • Compile posts into Word document (40,000-60,000 words)
  • Do this every 6-12 months depending on volume
  • Include: URL, publication date, and full text for each post
  • Create simple cover (Canva or automatic cover creator)

  • Select “print for yourself” option
  • Also available on Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark
  • Purchase single copy for yourself
  • Title simply: “My Blog 2026”

  • Physical proof of publication date and content
  • Protection against content alteration on your site

  • Publication date
  • Video length
