Save early, save often….

I’ve just gotten about half way through a blog post about some (at least to me) cool drupal work I was doing. I wanted to check and make sure that I used the proper Textile formatting on a piece of the blog, so I dropped down to the “[ inline:xx ] tags” link to check, expecting it to pop up a window with the formatting syntax.

It did, sort of. It took me to a page with the formatting syntax, but it didn’t open a new window. When I clicked “Back” to get back to my blog, the page reset, and everything is now gone.

So, all you bloggers, a hint for you… during composition, don’t ever follow a link. Always save your work (uncheck the “published” option), and open the link in a new window. 🙁
