Starting 3rd Year

  • Reported by Nate

Today webgraphics starts it's third year as the weblog you're reading here. I've had the domain since '97, and since then it's has been a web development search engine (thanks to Andy for those years), a page with a logo on it (hi), and finally a collaborative weblog (last 3 years).
Ironically, today has also been somewhat rocky for the site with weird connectivity problems and other strangeness. I'm not sure why a comment made to a post earlier today somehow became the text of the post itself, thankfully I was able to fix things since the rss file somehow retained it's text. At least 50% of the problems are my fault, I'm in the middle of making some rather drastic changes, and so some babies are being thrown out with the bath-water if you will. More detail on the changes later.

Re: "I’m not sure why a comment made to a post earlier today somehow became the text of the post itself…" I've had this happen a couple times on my site (most recently, here). For me, the trigger seems to be jumping directly into a comment edit screen. Once I edit the comment and hit 'save', when I return to the main entry edit screen, the text of the entry has been replaced with the text of the comment I just edited. If I don't notice and save the entry to trigger the rebuild, things get all mucked up. The only solution I've found so far is to edit comments the "usual" way (first open the entry edit screen, then click through to the comment edit screen) instead of using the shortcut link to jump directly into editing the comment. I haven't determined yet whether this is an MT bug, a Safari bug, or a combination of both. Not sure if this is what hit you or if it was something different, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
