Please, god almighty fix the blogs to keep the information that is input into the fields...
I have lost ANOTHER long and detailed Blog about my progress and work due to pressing the EDIT button after PREVIEWing my blog...(btw I probably spent about an hour between TV and writing the blog)
(Hell, just remove the PREVIEW button and go straight to POST! its not like you cant EDIT afterward WITHOUT losing all your work!)
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!(Long night and Long blog, Gone!)

Sucks. (I WAS in a good mood)

I'm not even going to attempt to re-write the blog, i'm going to sleep.

P.S. Stressed out and pissed off now, no need to respond to this message, I just want you all to know!

BTW: if anyone cares theres new screenshots on my website, I WAS going to post them in the blog but...

Chrome. :) It has that extra feature, and I never had a problem. I precautiously cut my text before submitting every time it grows way too large.

PS: I do hope you're gonna post that blog though, I can't wait to see the progress on your pack!

hey, that's a good reason to use chrome, thanks.
i too generally compose my lengthier posts in a regular text editor and then paste them into the GG site, but the other day i did lose a blog post not once but twice, and felt this pain very acutely.

Various wikis have a snapshot system so that work in progress is kept. Something like that would be neat :)
I love it in Dokuwiki, since my fingers aren't always clicking the shortcuts I should.

Ya, I'm using notepad from now on.

I'm not too big a fan on installing alot of programs, but note taken about chrome, I may look into it later.
