To Publish Or Not To Publish!

As you can probably see, I had a spot of bother publishing yesterday's blog.

When I pressed the 'publish' button, the system crashed. So I opened up again, created the post again, and 'published' again.

A quick count of the identical entries in the 'Previous Posts' column shows I repeated that exercise 9 times. While busting to get off the machine for tea, and before the international day clicked over to the next date.

All to no avail.

When I went to the blog it showed all those duplicate entries, indicating that somehow the message had posted. So I went into the control panel to remove the excess.

Delete, delete, delete ... "This entry does not exist, so you can't delete it" the software said. Nine times.

Today my control panel shows just one entry - the public version of the blog shows nine. And there's nothing to delete.

Shucks Grasshopper! Chill out! And prepare to ride again!

(But I will make sure I copy this before I hit the publish button today!)
