So I made this post like the night just before Destructoid when faulty, I was like the only person still awake I suppose, no other posts for ours on the Cblogs... Either way, I just feel responsible yet spiteful. I wrote this long post about the games announced at the VGAs (which "I didn't watch, I saw the trailers at none other than gametrailers, a godsend of websites) that I found very interesting, or quite amusing, in my opinion, my favorite post so far, I try to keep a basis for what I write, sometimes drifting off a bit to only give more detail into a certain subject that relates to underlying topic. I also like to at least, somewhat schedule what I may write in advance of a few hours than write in one go, like right now and then just let my inspiration and creativity drive my efforts in writing something that no one will read, but I tried and I liked the end result. Saddens me and frustrates me when things happen and a site croaks for a moment, but when it's revived I wish that everything would be restored, but oh well, my post got deleted. Everything else went back to normal, two podtoids went up for compensation and I listened and let my anger pass. Anger at technology, not at Destructoid. I still love this site even though I'm new to it and I only know about it because of HAWP. Story of my life.... seriously, this should be tagged as a rant, but I put this as About Destructoid, since of course most of the rant is about the site...
READ SCOTT PILGRIM!!! UBISOFT is making a game out of it, woooyeah!!! :D

There are lots of little programs out there that allow you to have a window open for writing. I'm particularly fond of Evernote (wwww.evernote.com) which is a free download, but I also like the Quicknote Firefox add on - both programs continually save what you write, so even if your computer shuts down the text will still be there. You can also use the old standby of notepad.
For writing anything of substance, it's just a good habit to get into. Write somewhere else... copy and paste when you go to post.

That is a very good idea. I am fairly new to the internets, blogs anyway, and this probably just saved me some trouble as my blogs tend to be long.
I wrote a monstrous post the other day that hardly anyone read. I've lost quite a few for various reasons. Some I just misplace. Others I lost to a hard drive not working anymore.
Also, feel your pain on vanishing blogs. I always cut/paste mine in a text document just in case.
