I Don't Usually Put Up Two Posts a Day, But......
My friend Mike sent me a bloggers poem that reflects my frustration with losing a blog post.
Bloggers' Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, and inside each house
Was a blogger quite busy with keyboard and mouse.
A post each one published on Blogger with care;
Then viewed the results with a horrified stare.
They wistfully thought of their comfortable beds
While dealing with problems that each blogger dreads:
The bloggers on Beta are caught in a trap
They cannot revert though their blogs turned to cr*p.
Blogger has always got something the matter
Both versions have problems, not just the latter:
Our lengthiest posts disappear in a flash
To see our file uploads we must delete cache
The style sheet's gone crazy, but why we don't know
The sidebar's no longer beside, it's below
Your blog skin and link list may soon disappear
Along with your archives for most of the year
Unless you go back up your template, and QUICK
You might lose it all with just one ill-timed click.
And if all of that is too much of a pain
You'd better ask Santa for your own domain.
Quick Note: That Zeroes video? Turns out it wasn't just a homemade parody. NBC produced it to hype the show. Kind of disappointing huh?

Nice poem and so true.
I echo the above sentiments, and your frustration. I have had long posts and comments disappear into ether, and probably reformed into some Nigerian bank fraud email :)
Great poem, SQT. Have you seen this more general lament for users of PC's?
Abort, Retry, Ignore?
LOL. Good one!
I like that one Scotty!
It is a good poem.
But -- and I hope I'm not jinxing myself -- I've had more troubles with comments -- especially long ones -- than with my own posts.
Although I believe your blog still holds the record for longest comment received, SQT.

I'm honored. :)
I had a lot of problems commenting until I switched to the new blogger, then the commenting issues pretty much went away. But writing my posts has now become much more uncertain. Frankly, I'd rather deal with the comment issues since they're usually not so long and involved as my posts. Usually.
Hi!! I'm flattered that you liked my poem!! I'd appreciate it if you'd credit it to me, and include a link to where it appears on my blog
