THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Mar. 10th, 2004 01:24 pma note to all you lj-ers out there who keep having their entries "eaten" by lj:
you have other options for updating other than from the website!
there's a client download section to get a lil' software dealie which you can update your journal from off-line and post it when you're done. I use it 90% of the time I update stuffs - it's quite handy and saves your drafts for you to refer back to should you need to step away from the computer or what have you. yes.
there's always typing up what you want to say in word or notepad, and then copying and pasting it into a client or the lj update page - that way if it doesn't post, all is not lost! and all you'd have to do is change the mood and music and whatever else settings-wise when you were finished w/your writings.
if you simply MUST update from the site, before you hit "update journal" ctrl+A your entry, and then ctrl+c - that way you've got what you wrote copied on the computer's clipboard dealie - just in case LJ hiccups.
--------
I've seen the variations of the phrase "LJ ATE MY ENTRY!" waaaaaaaaay too many times on my friends list recently. hopefully that phrase will CEASE TO APPEAR in a serious manner after this super-helpful post, because SURELY everyone would pick one of the options listed to update and back up their entries with (or come up w/their own option that's unique and does the job - thats cool too).
that is, unless you just like to bitch about things, and your life is going along just swimmingly EXCEPT for LJ eating your posts, and thus you wish to continue bitching about such an important topic over and over again, instead of sharing something of substance.*
thank you.
*NOTE: this post is not meant to offend, but inform. apologies if you're too self-conscious/sensitive and manage to get offended anyway.
