Today has been a rough day.  Earlier I had written a perfect post on article marketing.  I talked about how article marketing is a great idea for various different types of businesses; as an example, I talked about how a Florida custom home builder could use article marketing for "branding" and to increase traffic to their FL luxury home builders site.  I also talked about how it would help even though my example was already a well-known custom luxury home builder in Florida.

Unfortunately, as I was getting ready to publish the post, my computer crashed and spontaneously rebooted.  A while later, I tried again, and my computer completely locked up.  So that’s twice today that I’ve lost my hard work… and twice that my computer has been turned off without properly shutting down (which isn’t good for the hard drive).

It’s been a very frustrating day, but it’s a good reminder to save your work often, particularly if you’re writing your marketing articles directly into an online system.  Losing your work is very frustrating — I fought down the urge to throw my computer through a window at least a dozen times today — and not something you want to have to go through!
