Oh Kids!
I am so disappointed. I was coming to the end of a good post and lost my connection.

He is good.
Really, really good.

Check your Dashboard, where it lists all of your posts and gives you the option to edit or delete them. Do you know what I’m talking about here?
Anyway, go there and just check. Sometimes Blogger is merciful and automatically saves a draft for you if you get interrupted like that.
It’s a long shot, but it might be there.
I know. I have been saved by that before, but not this time. But it was all good.
Alison,
I’m a bit paranoid about losing such things. I continually copy my writings by highlighting everything, then copying it with control C, so I have it on my clipboard. It’s then on the computer, so if blogger messes up, all you do is reconnect, and paste, using control V. Also, do you ever preview your comments before posting them? I’m not sure, but sometimes in other types of programs, the preview is stored, and then it’s saved in your temporary internet files. All you have to do is push the back button to see it again. You’d then copy the text in your preview window, then start the posting process all over again, and then simply paste it in with control V. If I could make a suggestion: since you never know which entries may be things you want to publish, always write them first in WORD, save them to your computer, and then all you need to do is simply cut and paste the text from WORD into Blogger. No fear ever again of losing your text, plus you have all of your writing permanently stored on your computer. Then, of course, you want to back it all up from time to time on discs. I never trust Blogger though.
I actually just tested my theory out, and it works (just so long as you previewed it before). Push the back button, then you’ll see a message that says “Warning: Page Expired.” All you do then is push the refresh button, which is the recycle button up top, you may need to answer yes to a silly question asking if you really want to do it, and then you’ll be back where you were.
Next time, give me a call, or call India. Your choice!
