You can use LJArchive to save all your stuff.

How do you do that?

Follow this link and click the green download button. It will download a program that will enable you to save your LJ. A lot of people swear by it, though I haven't used it myself -- but I will.

My stuff always starts in a word document. I'll need to back-up my wife's journal, though.

I'd say we're safe for the immediate future. That they are still supporting the site is a good thing. Insanejournal would be my next place to land, if things go wrong here. Also, down in the comment thread, stillnotbored has some better information.
