    Mysterious

    Yesterday morning I wrote a brief post entitled "Manifest Destiny".
    I posted it, then realised I had doubled up a phrase in one sentence. I went to edit it using Blogger and couldn't find it in the editing facility (it was showing up on the blog.). So I tried to edit it using W.Bloggar, which is what I wrote it on. It didn't show up anywhere there, either (still showing on the blog).
    Nevermind, I'll fix it tomorrow, I thought. So this morning after checking that the post was still showing, I put up some easy crap, just to move the post lower down the order - no, I don't know why that would make any difference. Then I tried to edit it again and I still couldn't find it. Then I refreshed the page to check this morning's post and guess what?
    Yesterdays post doesn't show up any more. I'm out of tinfoil - anybody know what else I can use to make a helmet.

    I first compose in a word document in case something goes wrong. Anyway Dirk, piss Blogger off - you deserve better.

    Rat, I'd recommend Typepad with it's free trial and basic entry level. Regarding the Blogspot URL you may be able to set up a pointing domain to the new URL. Otherwise retain current blog title and notify folks via a dormant post on blogspot. If all else fails one can be found via Google.

    Adrian,
    I'm well aware of your pathological hatred of Blogger, but I don't think this particular instance is Blogger's fault; I didn't compose the post on Blogger, but on W.Bloggar, an independent program. It disappeared from there at the same time.
    Also free trials are good - until the trial period expires.
