WHAT WAS I THINKING??

By
Real Estate Agent with VISION REALTY WINDSOR INC. Brokerage

I can't believe it...I just finished reading a post by someone who said they wrote an entire post...loved it ... tried to ad a picture and poof all their work was gone. To be found nowhere!

She suggested writing your post in word so if a glich happens you haven't lost all your work. Interesting....Made mental note to self....write blogs in word first!

Then I got a great idea for a post. It was passionate, everything I wanted to say and just wanted everyone to read...

Did I write it in word first??? No of course not.... It was gonna be short so why bother...Right? Well it ended up being quite long...About a half hr of my time this morning and what do you think happened when I went to post it.....

YUP! POOF...ALL GONE...AS IF IT NEVER EXISTED...HMM

Mental note to self....Pay attention to your mental notes to self or you are going to go mental.!!LOL

Enjoy your day!!!

I usually save my blog in 'Draft' mode as I'm going along....

I try to stay short and simple as much as possible. That way if I do loose something, there isn't too much writing involved.  Just remember, when something like that happens, it usually means you should wait and do it at a later date.  Everything happens for a reason.  Hope your having a great start to 2008.  Lu

It happens quite a bit... I'm in the habit now of copying and pasting the entire thing into notepad (my posts are in html).... the times I forget or just skip it is exactly when it has a hiccup and deletes the entire post.

I usually start a post by writing it in Works, then paste to the new blog.  I then "post as draft" to save it, come back and finish, add photos, etc.  Use the "post as draft" as a save button.
