If you type in an AOL mail window, if AOL closes, you're usually still left with the draft which you can then save as draft. <br><br>When I really don't want to lose something, I type in Word Pad and save as something I call (name of blog)entry. I can format it once I copy it into the blog's posting window. I've also learned to copy to the clipboard before I try to publish anything, to Blogger or AOL journals or even to message boards.<br><br>Nothing will help if your computer shuts down unexpectedly and you haven't saved yet. If you work in Word or WordPerfect, you might get lucky with an autosaved file. Unfortunately, we usually develop these strategies after disaster strikes.<br><br>I've had a few "recovered from attempt to hack into my PC" type messages after my PC has frozen and I've been forced to reboot, which then gives me the "recovered from serious error" message. I'm just glad my Norton Firewall is looking out for me that way, even if I lose stuff on occasion. IE has problems I use it, but I know things can slip in thru it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780547696687100620.post-47959141245045238622005-03-27T22:00:00.000-08:002005-03-27T22:00:00.000-08:00*pat pat pat* Sorry about the gliches.
