From the Mind of Courtney

I would put a witty quote or saying here, but I'd have to try way too hard to do so. So these are my thoughts, well some of them anyway.

Frustration in the Blogging World

About an hour ago, I spent 15 to 20 minutes writing a post. As I went to publish it, there was an error. I was able to hit the back button and still see my post, and I every once in a while I would come back and try to publish it. Then one time, it hit that error page and wouldn't let me come back. So the post was lost, and it is very frustrating. I guess that's one thing about the blogging world that we all risk everytime we write a post. Maybe I'll get back to writing a shorter version of the post. (By the way, I also tried to Save as Draft and got the error message too).

word to the wise: write your post in Microsoft Word, or similar, then copy and paste when posting. I don't do it everytime, but it is helpful.

I HATE it when that happens. Sometimes, on really long posts, I select all and copy before hitting publish, just in case. So I can paste it again if I need to. Stink.

Ahh, the glorious vanishing post! A favorite of mine.

If I have anything of remote importance I'm typing I always CTRL+A, CTRL+C it (Select all, copy) before I go anywhere.

And that, my friends, is why I love my Mac. The same thing used to happen to me all the time with e-mails on my old computer, but no more. Sure I've only had it 4 months, but I'm in love.
