Blogging my time away! oh the horror.....

By
Real Estate Agent with Right At Home Realty Inc.

Here I sit and type, check facts and compose my thoughts and insights on the Toronto real estate markets.  I barely register the time flying by and the sleep that I am missing.  Finally, I have reached an end, a point to break until the next post that may cover similar content but from a different view or focusing on another aspect of real estate for the benefit of anyone who cares to read it.  a quick spell check and all is as it should be. 

Quickly, I choose where I want it to be distributed; professionals, consumers and a group or two.  Not so much as to be spam but enough to maybe get a little notice.  It is done... Submit.

"Please sign In"...... The Horror.... The Horror.  Quick, back, maybe it's cached... "page not found" :-(

Active rain please add a draft feature with an auto-save, or let the system recognize that, when I am typing (although slowly or just too word), I am active and logged in.   I seem to have been away from my blog long enough that I have forgotten the golden rule of "Copy" before submitting... just in case.

So, I start over again, shorter, not so eloquent, just informative.  I really do need to get to sleep.

Andrew...I'm laughing because I just went through something similar....Typed a nice little blog entry, tried to post it and it wouldn't post.  My computer wouldn't even copy it.

Had to reboot and start over.....yes, how do we manage out time better?  That is a good question.

Hope you get some good sleep.

Andrew:  It sounds like you just had a pretty frustrating experience.  Unfortunately, many things, both on Active Rain, and in real life, are only finally learned after making mistakes like you just did.  Take care... and happy blogging.  I hope things get better for you. 

Here are two links that may be of help to you.  Blog - NEW MEMBERS - Start Here . I know you are not really "new" to Active Rain, but I learn new things about AR every week... so perhaps it might help.  Here is a second link that gives some help in finding your way around the profile page and the various links on the top, left side, and bottom.  ActiveRain Navigation - For New Members . Perhaps you will find something in here, too, that will be of help.  Take care...
