Your kidding? I spend hours also but always type my postings on word off line (because I have dial up). Then I always jump on line and post them but never had the file disappear! I am sooo sorry Mary!
Darn blogger... should be sent to the corner for a bit! I am really sorry to hear this - it is disheartening. The last thing one feels like doing is re-typing everything.
Tomorrow will be better!! Hug for you from Kate ox
Poor Mary! I'm very sorry to hear it! They were probably great bird pics. Like Monarch, I write the posts offline and save them to a file, with the photos saved in another file one by one. I keep saving as I go along, because a power glitch can disappear any unsaved file~ I even clip and paste the comments before I hit send, so I can repaste if Blogger disappears them in the middle of posting. These precautions seemed perfectly normal until I wrote them down for you, Mary.... now they sound a little neurotic!
Mary--I like your idea of a back button with blogger. Of course, when you want to change something, blogger seems so quick to grab. I too do some of my posts in a word document--in fact, I am playing with words days in advance, depending on the subject. Is there a place to send suggestions to blogger? I will look.
Oh no Mary....what an upsetting thing for Blogger to do to you!! Thank goodness you can recreate it! But what a pain it must have been when it happened.
I don't blog yet....but I'm thinking about starting. Your experience gives me pause to hesitate though...
You make me ashamed. I always feel like laughing out loud at your adversity :-) I am sorry that blogger treats you so badly. I have never been able to paste anything in to a post, it shuts me out everytime! I have learnt to save as a draft as I go along though, we have to find ways to catch blogger out and never let him (I am sure blogger is male!) win :-)

Bad, Bad Blogger!
Blogger needs a floggin'!
I believe it. Three times in the last few weeks blogger has dumped my text. I wrote the posts, hit preview and POOF- all the words were gone!
DANG!!

Blogger ate an entire post? Oh, gods!
That's just horrible! I'm sorry. :)
Peace,

Mon@rch has a good idea there, Mary.
That just sucks out loud.
***spanking Blogger right on its big fat fanny for you***

sorry - our loss, as your posts and photos are always so beautiful!
HI All,
I have a good method, too, which has been working quite well.
I first upload photos from Flickr -it's a breeze.
I type my text in a Word Doc (which is saved) then paste it to the end the post.
Then I move the photos throughout the post.
Last night, when I had finished all of that, I selected the entire post to center it. When I clicked on "center"...POOF! GONE!
Why can't Blogger add a "back" button???
I can easily recreate the post and will do it today. After that happened, I had to shut down the computer, count to ten, and go to bed.
Oh, I feeeeel your pain...

Noooooo! Nightmare! I'm so sorry Mary. Sending you a huge Hug!
oh, dear--the poetry of pain.
At least you can recreate the post, so we won't miss out on it. I LUURRRVVE your blog, so I don't want to miss a word!

Mary,
Go look at Wordpress to see if you would like it. It does have a back button, and so far, I have "misplaced" my posts, but never lost them!
Ouch! That hurts.
