With all of our technology today you would think that it wouldn't be easy to lose something you wrote. And yet technology still bites us. All I did was accidently hit the "Back" button on Internet Explorer. It faithfully took me back... even though I didn't want to. Because I was just finnished writing a Blogcritic entry. So I clicked the forward button, hoping my entry was still there. But nope. There was nada, nothing there.

It is always best to write a blogcritics entry (or anything else) in a word processor with frequent auto-save (thought I rarely follow that advice ofcourse have lost my most brilliant writing on many occasions).

Same thing has happened to me on my Xanga site. So now for reviews that I put up there I use a word processor first. It just works better that way.

T, the key to this if you can't use a word processing program - or don't want to be bothered, is to save in draft mode frequently as you go. I save at least after every paragraph out of habit.

ooo... now that is an idea...
