Rage against the dying of the blog form . . .

And another valuable lesson learned . . . (why, always the hard way? Why?)

From now on, I will draft all entries in Word, saving compulsively as I write. I've just lost four paragraphs of work - and they were blog-o-riffic! - because I pasted something into the Blogger blog form from my Yahoo account and (oh, the pain!) was rewarded with a PAGE CANNOT DISPLAY. All my frantic, disbelieving stabs at the BACK button were to no avail. Gone . . . gone forever (sigh). And despite having used Ctrl-D during the writing process, no Draft exists. Those instructions in small type at the bottom of the form lie.

Okay - by "forever" I mean until I painfully re-create said entry (isn't it always harder to write it the second time around?).
