[Hidden-tech] Passing on a workaround to WordPress's latest nasty habit

[Annamarie]

I think the reason Shel you are getting that message is that you've been logged off the server. It has happened to me when doing web design and Dev. 

Better practice is to compose somewhere else. I use Scrivener in much the same way Chris uses Evernote. I can easily scan the blogs I've done. 

Once written, I cut and paste into WP. 

Hope that helps.

But my favorite solution is Evernote.  Especially if you're crafting a blog, if you write all the postings in Evernote first, then you have a complete record of the blog in Evernote.
