This scrape of transgriot.blogspot.com was completed 7-28-2025 using HTTrack. It includes copies of the core index pages, embedded images (when still available) as well as individual blog entries, including comments. Pages for applied "labels" were not scraped to reduce file size, though they are currently available on the live web version. While the page has been archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, this scrape is intended to independently preserve the site, as well as to provide the site as a possible corpus for textual analysis.
Due to the file size (506 MB, .7z archive or .warc.gz), the scrape is available by request - simply email admin AT queerdigital.com. To browse the mirrored site (.7z archive), open index.html in the top-level folder.
