There's ALWAYS Room for Jelly! - Grrr. I Hate It When That Happens!

Tuesday, January 18, 2005

I spent the last two hours writing a BRILLIANT post about MP3 players. Mine was apparently dead this morning, and Creative's support site was no help at all. Eventually I found an answer that led me to my own solution over at Nomadness in their FAQ section.

When I clicked Post To Weblog, my login expired and it bonked out. Since all the text had been entered in a form, it was gone. Two hours of writing & link research down the drain. Grrr.

I learned the hard way (as you just did) either to write long, intensive posts in a text editor, or at least to Ctrl-C or Cmd-C to copy my entire post into the clipboard before trying to post it. Now you know.

Yeah.. my hurricane posts I wrote off-line in a text editor, and It's happened to me before, too. Usually when I was in the midst of a long post I would at least copy it to the clipboard, but for some reason I forgot to this time. I also clicked the "keep me signed in on this computer" checkbox, so that might help, too. This morning's Iraq post I wrote in FrontPage, and then switched to HTML view and copied the HTML over to the HTML view of the text editor within the blog :)
