Here's a tip

This is one artist talking to a million other artists for a moment:

Ever written a nice big fat detailed important email in your webmail and pushed send and found out that during the time you'd spent writing that email that your 24 hours login expired so that when you hit "Send" the email service said something like "Time's up, please login again" and your email was gone?

No, never happened to you? It will someday.

Ever had something similar happen when making a weblog post, like your browser froze and crashed because you had Photoshop and Excel and two different browsers and iTunes and Word and Thunderbird and five folders open at the same time?

No, never happened to you? It will someday.

Take it from someone who knows. You do more and more of your work on the web via a browser. Things happen. Get in this habit. Here's what you do:

Before hitting "Send" or "Publish" click inside the form window in which you've been typing your email or weblog post, Select All and Copy. In case your browser craps out you've still got it on the clipboard.

I always do that for anything more than four or five sentences. Except I didn't a minute ago and almost lost something huge. Fortunately, I didn't this time.

Now, if your system crashes while hitting Send or Publish, well, tough luck. If your computer is that fragile you've got other problems. You should have saved your writing to disk first. That's a little beyond the call of duty.
