I know it sounds suspect, but I just spent the second night in a row writing a long post only to have WP eat it. I think I finally figured out that the problem was the new version of WP and Google Gears, but not before I wasted an hour of my life I can never get back.
In case you are curious, it was making my posts unsavable if I was using the visual editor. It was also making my content disappear if switched to the HTML editor. I was screwed either way.
Sorry NaBloPoMo folks. That is all I can do tonight.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to recapture my thoughts on birtthparent searching in China.

I really want to see your post on that topic!
I really want to see that post, too!
(And not to harp, but how was New Moon?!)
I desperately want that post…it’s on my lineup. (Now that I blew NaBloPoMo.)
