(The Internet is not my friend here and that new posting thing of WordPress can go fuck itself. Already wrote this and there’s not auto-draft save on there. One Internet hiccup and it’s all gone. Let’s try this again.)
Some people may have seen a post go live earlier today and it was about being frustrated and angry. Well . . . oops. It was suggested by a friend that I use the last full week of December to do a ‘Greatest Hits’ period. So I was setting up the Top 6 posts of my blog to go live on that week. #4 was a humorous rant from April 2013, which I was surprised to see there. Why couldn’t this oops happen with the happier ones?
Anyway, my Internet did a hiccup and switched it from a scheduled post (December 25th) to a publish now post. I didn’t notice and was just happen to have the connection back. I hit the button and promptly tried not to curse in front of the kid. Then my Internet slowed to a crawl while I tried to delete everything. Obviously, I didn’t catch them all in time and some people noticed. Again, I’m sorry about that confusion.
I’m not in a bad mood unless exhausted counts. I had a rather productive week and I’m gearing up to jump back into editing over the weekend. Book 7 is a rough ride, so I need to be on my toes for it. That’s really it. I’ll leave you with something funny, which is where my last attempt to post this went off the rails:

I only post through my dashboard on the old-style posting page. I can’t find anything on the new one… I’m convinced half of what I need isn’t there. I hate it when something goes out that I don’t want to. Congrats for not swearing in front of the little one.

I tried using it for a quick post, but it went screwy when I tried to add media. There’s no option to get a video from Youtube and it just seems empty overall. Not a fan and I keep dreading that they’ll make that the only option.

That would be awful.

Like Linda, I, too, only use the old style. Strewth, I only started blogging in February, and I’m already a dinosaur 😀

Mammoth works, too. Especially if you consider my waistline… 😀

I hear ya. When will society allow elastic waistbands to be perfectly acceptable public wear. 🙂

I avoid upgrades, updates and anything “new” on the internet until at least 10 people say it’s good. So far, NO ONE has said WP’s “new posting” system is good and I’ve heard many swear words.
So, sticking to the usual page view, for now. Keep me posted, you pioneers!
Best to you all, you friggin’ geniuses!

Thanks. The hard thing here is that it kicks in if you click on new post from your front page. Have to go through the Dashboard to get to the old one. I forgot and I paid for it. Let my story be a lesson to all other bloggers. 😛

Same here — I post strictly through the old interface. It’s logical. It’s easy. It doesn’t look like a frickin’ cartoon. Why are designers trying to make us all feel like children lately?!

I don’t know, but I see a lot of adults that could be designated as children. I’m still confused on why they removed the option of posting videos.
