Trying a new blogging process - Google Docs

Why don't I blog more? I get a lot of those questions. The biggest reason has been that I never get through a blog entry without having to close my browser and losing my session. This can happen intentionally or unintentionally, like when Firefox crashes or my computer runs out of memory.

Hopefully, I have addressed that problem. At the suggestion of Dan Vega, I am going to try using Google Docs to write my entries first. Until a few nights ago, I had never used Google Docs, but I am now impressed. It's very easy to use, and I love the auto-save functionality. BlogCFC has always had this problem for me - losing what I write. I often go back, write and re-write what I have written, and I have always seemed to lose the entry before I publish it. This happens a lot less since I upgraded my BlogCFC a few months ago (although I am a little out of date now), but it still happens if the browser craps out. I blame that on my ability to tax a browser/computer over the application itself. Anyway, hopefully, I'll start blogging more with this new process.

Does anyone else run into this problem? How do YOU solve it?
