My first attempt to start a research-related blog...

...has been an utter demoralizing failure. Either I don't understand Blogger software, or it is no damn good for anything a bit text-heavy. I completely lost two days' hard work. It was a bloody good article, too, and to rewrite anything a second time is, to me, an agonizing experience.

Ah, okay. You might want to try Firefox or Chrome. I wouldn't expect it to work with Internet explorer.

That is, I wouldn't expect pasting of formatted text in the Blogger rich editor widget to work. It does some fancy things which I wouldn't expect Internet Explorer to be able to support well.

I haven't been using Firefox since I found that it would not allow me to open zipped downloaded software, but only to save it. However, I'll try - once I have the time, and the nervous strength to try and rewrite the lost article. The main problem is simply this: that I find trying to rewrite material from the start a nerve-shredding experience.
