Welcome

Greetings and welcome to CLUB CCD 2! This is a continuation of Club CCD (https://clubccd.blogspot.com/), which has reached capacity for new photos, but which is still active. Please make all new posts here rather than at Club CCD. The main discussion site, where most people post, is CancanGroup.io (https://groups.io/g/CancanGroup). Please go there for daily text postings. These are sites for the discussion and appreciation of the Cancan in all its forms, from its genesis in Paris during La Belle Epoche, to its appearance in London, San Francisco and The Old West. Owned and operated by the online cancan community, CCD2 is open to everybody with a genuine interest in the World's Greatest Dance. Please note, however, that CCD2 is a G-Rated group, so please don't post anything objectionable. While the content of this site may be described as slightly 'risque,' this is not an adult community in any sense of the word, and anything deemed inappropriate will be deleted immediately.

Alert!!! - Photo Archives Going Away

 The Good Google giveth and the Good Google taketh away.


Google is going to delete its Photo Archives on July 19.


This affects our own group's photo archives, which will disappear on that date.


These are accessed at CancanGroup (https://groups.io/g/CancanGroup) from the pinned  message "Links to Blogger Photo Archives for All our Cancan Groups" near the top of the messages.  It gives links to the various Photo Archive albums.


I have attempted to download the entire archive using a batch process offered by Google. I think it was successful, although I need to check the results further.


I used a process Google calls "Takeout" to download the whole Archive en masse under each of my log-ins.  I got two .zip files as a result.   When I expanded the first one, it appears that the process was successful.  The photos are arranged in the same folders we have at CancanGroup, together with a lot of extraneous files too.


I don't know if anyone else can download the files or if that is limited to me since I set them up, but, if you want to have a copy of the photos, you might want to give it a try.


Go to the pinned  message "Links to Blogger Photo Archives for All our Cancan Groups" and click on one of the links and you will see the photos and a message from Google about using Takeout or downloading the albums individually.


If that doesn't work (and it may not), then about all you can do is download selected photos one-by-one or try to download the albums separately.  That may work for some of them.   I think some are too large for that to work on them.


I'll try to find another home for the archives when I have time.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.


I may also try to upload the .zip files to dropbox or some other similar service.  If so, you may be able to download them from there.


At any rate, if there are some particular photos you want to keep, now is the time to retrieve them.
