I hate that little "windows" key on windows keyboard. I'm not sure what combination of buttons I inadvertently hit, but I accidentally closed MS Explorer. Dernit.
Normally, I use the LJ client. But I was out babysitting. And I would have written it in word and cut and paste, but in this case I don't think it would have helped. It wasn't that LJ ate it (which has been the case in the past). Whatever combination of keys I hat after I hit that windows key inadvertently closed my window. Sigh.
Ugh! After a couple of experiences like this myself, I have to Echo Dr. Mellow's comments. I normally write my entries either in the client SW or in a text editor where I then cut and paste. So sorry you lost your entry!
Normally, I do. But I was at YOUR HOUSE. So I was doing it online. Sigh. It's okay. It's not a big deal. I'll duplicate the effort some other time. Maybe while I'm in Florida next week. Maybe not.
As a blogger user,I've managed to lose more than one entry. The system has a button that says "POST," which posts the entry,and "POSTS," which shows you a list of all existing posts. If you hit the POSTS button instead of the POST button, you lose whatever you've typed. It's all very traumatizing!
