« Easy Wordpress Plugin Installation New WordPress Tools That I Want »
When I’m out and about surfing other people blogs, doing research or just finding interesting stuff, sometimes I forget just how flacky internet explorer can be.
I use firefox most of the time, but some of the tools I use pop sites up in ie, so I end up surfing in ie instead of firefox. Most of the time it’s not a problem, but soemtimes ie will fall over just when I don’t want it to, like when I’m click post on a new blog post or on a comment on someone else’s blog, which can be a little irritating…
If I’ve spent 5 or 10 mins or more writing the comment, or possibly a lot longer with a post, it means I will ened up having to re-write the whole thing.
My solution?
Simple, I now always write stuff in text pad first and then copy and paste it for the post, so if it get’s lost somehow, I’ve still got a copy and can simply re-post it.
there is another advantage to this method, I can save all those posts and comments and use them as material for writing new articles to submit to article directories as well, 2 birds, 1 stone as they say…
:smile:
I’m spending quite a bitmore time on other peoples blogs now as I’ve got a neat little tool that lets me know when a new post is made on my favorite blogs so I can go check it out and make a comment, if I’ve got something useful to add.
the best bit is the tool is free!

I use text files quite a bit too. I use NoteTab Light which is a free text editor and I know how you feel about spending 10 minutes writing a comment and then losing it all. Not fun.
It’s interesting you just started using a blog tool…so did I. It’s just a simple RSS reader but now instead of having to click on links to blogs I just copy & paste the RSS URL into the feed reader and it gets all the new posts for me. It’s much easier that way. I know feedreaders have been around for years but sometimes I’m a bit slow to catch on.
