    Disappearing Blogs

    Saturday, June 14, 2008, 12:16 PM [General]

    If you post a blog and it seems to disappear, check to see if it hasn't reverted to draft status. Click on your Blog tab, then on the link that says "Manage Blog Posts".

    Your "missing" post might be there (hopefully?). Click on edit to bring it up again, and chagne the "draft" status to "public" (or friends, if you prefer). Save it again, and it should return to existance in a few minutes.

    This has been the case for a few people, but there is no guarantee that it is ALWAYS the case, so it may not work for you. If it is, please leave a comment so I can see how many people this is happening to.

    What's happened to me several times before is that when I 'preview post' and then go back to make changes it reverts to draft all on it's own! Actually the last few weeks or so it's been doing that... I did manage to figure it out though :P

    That's exactly what happened to me. I hit preview, went back to edit it, and somewhere along the line it went to draft. I figured it out and fixed it on my own, but wanted to tell you as you requested to know who's being affected.

    Another glitch has to do with login. If you have left your browswer open for a long time, perhaps overnight, then Covenspace will allow you to hop about, perhaps even comment on other's posts, but should you compose a PM or start a blog post, it may fail on submission, and you need to click Logout, then log back in. Unfortunately, the post is lost at that point.

    I highly suggest that for all online work, members should use Ctrl+A in the field that they type in to select all, then Ctrl+C to copy it. It will hold in your temp until you hit copy or cut again... plenty of time on failed submission to try again!

    Some will keep an actual copy, by pasting into notepad or wordpad, which means if a site ever goes down, you have a record of your posts in future for sure!

    Blessings,

    I just tried to post a new blog and lost it. The first time I lost it completely, and started it over. I put it into draft so I could take a break, then finished it. When I tried to post it, the second one disappeared, but the first unfinished one posted out of no where. I deleted it and I'm hoping the second Asheville blog shows up. I don't see it in manage blogs, etc.
