Even blogger doesnt like me today...

I had this rather long, and I thought interesting post on what happened to me today when I decided to volunteer at Aubrey's school library. However, blogger evidently decided that to add to the strangeness of what happened that it was going to eat my post.

Now I don't have enough time to re-post and recover post as most times...didn't recover anything.

So, it will have to wait till later.

But it's good, I promise...

It's all Bush's fault that the evil Blogger machine ate and digested your blog and never gave it back. Ooops. Sorry, had a "truthout" moment there. ;) (A little inside joke there kids. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.)

I hate blogger. I used to always come up with great things to write and then Blogger would lose it and I would never get back to it. I am not sure what my excuse is now, but I blame it on PTSD from my Blogger days.

Sorry that happened. Maybe I will start a drive to raise funds for you to move from blogger to your own place.

I had Blogger eat my post once and i quickly learned to compose (and save) in M$ Word, until I actually see it, before discarding my work.

It has saved my bacon MANY, MANY, Many times...

If I could transfer all my posts (and, their associated comments) to somewhere else, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Maybe Yahoo! has a blog feature. . .

I just tried to check Yahoo! for a blogging feature and it is extremely slow to respond.

Grrrrrr!

Okay, time for suggestions, anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

I can't wait to hear about your "training" today Lisa ;-)

I moved all my posts to my own domain, but the process sucked because it was hand coded with no way to import the posts like in some blog programs. I had to go into view source and copy all of the code for the posts, then I set up a directory where I sorted them by month. It took me about 8 hours to get the 22 months of archives how I liked them on the new site. Luckily I use Haloscan so I just had to add the javascript code.

That was one of the big reasons I never switched. If someone hadn't given me the domain and server space for my birthday last year, I would still be on Blogger I am sure

Somebody bought the domains for this blog and my other one - so I guess they don't want me to have one.

Or they know how huge you are and want to cash in. Like whitehouse.org

Blogger must die.

They have eaten some of my best blog posts, and I usually get frustrated and skipt the rewrite.

The Blogger posts most likely to get eaten, I have found, are those that include tedious link work and much time spent when you are looking for just the "right" word.

I think historymike is on to something. The trivial bulk of my writing was never lost. Just the well thougth out and written posts that could have changed the world.
