I'd also like to extend my confusion to coturnix, who sent me this rather cryptic comment.
WordPad is your friend. Blogger also has a new feature that you can install into your MSWord to publish directly from your word file into Blogger.At first I thought that it was spam that had penetrated the security, but when I traced the sender it led me to Science and Politics, another blog I like and which is also in my links. I'm confused now, and dont know if coturnix is just weird, or trying to tell me something about my spelling. Or maybe he just really likes Wordpad.
addendum @ 9:30 a.m.: Dave just pointed out to me that coturnix was probably trying to save me the trouble of losing my work by composing on WordPad first. (Boy, do I feel stupid). Actually, when I write an entry at work, I do it that way ('cause I'll do it a sentence or phrase at a time over a whole shift)(plus management watches Net activity), but it doesnt work as well for the links, which is the part I really mind losing (I'm full of words, obviously, but the links take work).

Yo Dave, mad props for tha welcome! (Nah, I don't really know how hip-hop language works but I'm happy to use it anyway.) And remember, it's not really about readership, it's about writership. I'd just be one of those guys ranting on street corners otherwise.
On coturnix's comment. I reckon he was actually helping you avoid losing all your work when writing insurrectionary posts about the US overnment-gay (sssh, they're listening). But maybe he's just a Microsoft fanboy.
Yeah, the writing thing resonates with me. I've told maybe four people about the blog, I mostly do it because it's so much fun.
As for the Word thing being good for losing what I wrote: Oh, duh! Stupid me. I may have to try that.
Yup, that was my motivation. I recently downloaded BloggerforWord (http://buzz.blogger.com/bloggerforword.html) and I am very happy with it at home. At work I use Text Editor (on a Mac) or WordPad (on a PC). Haven't lost a post in many months (and until recently most of my posts were 4000+ words!).
