How to Archive Your HTML on Tumblr
If you use Tumblr's custom HTML feature, you probably make regular changes to your blog's HTML code. Archiving your HTML is essential in case you ever over-tweak your code to the point of no return and need to revert back to what you know works. Creating a backup of the HTML for your Tumblr is a good idea even if you don't use custom HTML, simply because you never know if you might need it.
