Per the advice of nearly everyone in the comments that appear under the previous post, I’m trying out Firefox for blog posting. I’m not seeing any new features above and beyond what I’ve always noticed in Internet Explorer, but at least I’ve now been schooled in the art of saving drafts. Time will tell whether the platform is more stable; I’m certainly hopeful. But I should still make myself write posts in a text editor first.

Thanks, everyone, for all the good advice. I hope to never again waste your time with so basic an issue.
