Just takes a second and for those 1 in 50 times the sever burps at that exact moment, I have it right at hand to re-post. The way I write, I have not a prayer of re-composing something if it gets lost. I am sort of stream of consciousness in a lot of what I write, and then right on to the next thing!

You back up and the post is gone. I have had it happen a few times to me in the past, but I normally stay short and sweet on responses now. I use "oh no" blogger for my blogs , and that saves your posts automatically. Nothing like making a long detailed response to a post on a forum, and then when you hit reply, it says “please login”.

Sorry to hear of your woes, Alan. I think we can ALL relate. It's gotten to the point where I literally save every post I make in HTML version before doing anything else. That way, even if terr*rists b*mb G**gle before I switch to Wordpress, I can still make the transition. lol Wow… nice tip, Will! Sorry to hear of your woes, Alan. I think we can ALL relate.

The only time I can think of that this might be an issue is if you don't regularly back up your WP database and something happens to one of your published posts. I remember reading on BlogCatalog about someone who had all the text after his "more" tag on all his posts disappear. If this had happened on a site using BlogDesk, then all the posts on the local machine would have been updated to reflect the missing text online.

I will definitely check it out. I only have this problem very occasionally but it is very frustrating. Thanks for the tool tip, Will. I will definitely check it out.

That's frustrating. I get upset when a comment I am making disappears. I use an off line tool to write. There are several, but the one I have been using is BlogDesk. I can just upload the post into WordPress when I am done. So far it works for me just fine. The only problem is that because it is so easy to start a draft and save it for later, I do and always have way too many posts half finished! Sort of like the way I read books.... http://www.blogdesk.org/en/index.htm . Arrgg! That’s frustrating. I get upset when a comment I am making disappears. I use an off line tool to write.
