Thank, yes there is normally an auto save in the blog writer... and i didn't even check it was working.
but unhappily i accidently wrote it in the template maker and in there there is no autosave (apparently as i found out yesterday).
I was so angry i was down to putting in final pictures. sigh.. ah well.. post was made and well rewarded so... meh... i am happy with that :-)
thanks for stopping by
