At the weekend, I spent some time away from the internet to write several blog posts. Unfortunately, I lost them because I saved an old edition of the mac text edit document. I made the mistake of writing 4 posts on the same document. I didn’t lose the file, I just somehow reverted to the earliest edition of the document. – So all the beautiful posts were lost. – Of course, these were the best posts I had ever written 
How to Avoid Losing blog Posts.
(notes to me)
- Use Microsoft Word which has autosave. – It’s annoying that after spending $2000 on a mac, you still need to buy Microsoft product. (Why do I have to pay for mac mail?)
- Have a separate file for each document, there is less chance of losing several at once.
- Once written, back up to disc or upload to internet and save as draft.
- I could write directly in blog which has autosave, but, I usually write without internet. In fact I feel it is a benefit to write without internet access.
What to do After losing Blog Posts
- Don’t hit your head against a wall. It hurts and for some reason the wall can’t help retrieve your posts from cyberspace.
- Try Writing what you remember. The problem is that it is impossible to remember what you said exactly, and anything seems to be inferior to what you originally wrote.
- No blog post is indispensable to life. Remain detached.
- Make sure it doesn’t happen again…
