1st time doing this and I got flaged before posting

Chess is a struggle... and apparently my first three blog attempts failed to save and post.
IOkay, this is embarrassing. I'm a professional writer. I have my own website. There is a chess blog there. I was a software engineer when I had a day job. I'll provide a link when I figure this out.
~ Maybe there is some kind of time-out feature I was unaware of.
I’ll check in with the software experts...
In the meantime, I'm rewriting the original copy that mysteriously vanished while I was writing it. CyaL8r
I entered the Chess.com Daily Game chess tournament and posted this on the registration page:

“I'm getting excited to play in this tournament, which is my first on Chess.com I plan on analyzing as many games as possible and post a few on my own chess-blog on my personal website. When I played over-the-board tournaments log ago, I've always analyzed my games in a notebook, (now using Chessbase). I refrain from using Fritz or other chess engines and write my own thoughts instead. I've been playing chess since High School and joined the chess team after working my way up the club ladder system, securing fifth board. Our team won 6th place in the state championships, and I was undefeated, scoring 5.5-0.5 That was the year graduated... in 1970.
I am in training and ready to Play! [22 daily games ~ WoW]”
GrizwoldZed posted 4hs ago: I was answering a query about my favorite first move.
“My First Move as BLACK is to start my opponent's chess clock and wait.
For WHITE: (1) e4 Spanish/Italian (2) Nf3 - KIA (3) d4 Queen's Gambit (4) c4 English
~ currently ~ I like to play in Classical style.”
I originally began my 1st post with a short paragraph about how upgraded my membership from Gold to diamond, during the World Championship, but I will keep that little story for a future post while I decide how I’m gonna make the layout cool and interesting. But for now, it’s late and I’m tired. CyaL8r.
