Arghhhh! I should have listened to my own advice.
I recently started helping my mother navigate through the Active Rain sea of blogs, showing her the ropes and preparing her for her inevitable first blog as a newbie swab.
We touched on a number of topics from the tell tale signs of a good blog, to the dangerous shoals of slanderous speech and the sirens song of copy righted material.
We sailed trough a number of topics about the how to's when all of a sudden she wanted to dive right in and start blogging away.
Ahoy! Says I, It's best to write your blog first in your word processing software on your PC and then copy and paste it into Active Rain.
Why? Says she, unknowing the fate of typing without worry directly into the AR site. Because if you loose your connection while your blogging your content will slip beneath the choppy surface of cyberspace never to be seen again.
Well wouldn't ya know it, I was blogging away inspired by a comment and eager to get my blog afloat when after a good hour, I'm a slow logger, I lost me connection. Now my bonnie blog lies next to Davie Jones' locker forever lost.
Arghhhh, no matter how much I curse my wretched connection and service provider, nothing can bring her back accept me memories.
Don't lose your head and heed my advice.
Cheers mates!
