ARGH!
If yer in WBloggar never touch the "posts" button if yer in the middle of a cool post. Because poof it shall go. Designers out there, people of code, developers etc.. never ever EVER make a button do something unless the user really really KNOWs about it. See it looks like a pull down, like you could click on it and be ok... BUT! Its a trick. It clicks in and locks up a sec and then loads up the previous post blowing yer content away. Thats bad. I had this cool post about Ico, and Rez on the PS2 and about how I love those games and can't wait for them. Plus how I love this new massager I got from amazon and how I resisted buying more games at Burts tonight and then I even explained who Burt was from those of you who are gonna say "WTF is Burt?". Sadly all of that is gone. Now I guess we get a trimmed down post to just the essentials. Shorter to write, still fustrating though. Anyways enough of that I got cds to rip, songs to sort, a day to prepare for.

Crazy me, I've been using WBloggar and haven't had that problem at all. I always figured the big button that said POST on it probably did exactly that and you know what? I was right. I guess Dan is just a good example of lowest common denominator useablity in action. Forget about making something foolproof, make it DanProof.

the problem is that if you accidently click post it locks up, least it did for me and my conent was gone...
the end result was a bad experience for me, the point is dont design an app to make it easy to fall into a bad experience. there should be warnings, indicators, not mouse lock ups and youve lost it results.. make it simple.. understandable..
