All apologies

Some of you may have noticed my posting over the weekend was sporadic, and I feel I owe you an explanation.

When I go out of town for business or family reasons, I prefer to prewrite posts a few days in advance so there’s always fresh content on at least a daily basis. (It also makes it harder to guess when I’m away.)

Last week I upgraded my site to WordPress 2.9 and found there’s a major flaw in the software which affects post scheduling. I can set a post to go at a particular time but once the moment arrives the post remains in the queue, unpublished. And since I was away with family who only had limited dialup computer access this made it difficult to keep up my site properly. When you’re expecting posts to come up for four consecutive days away and they don’t pop up, you’re not a happy camper.

Apparently WordPress is working on this but I’ll have to wait until version 2.9.1 gets its beta testing and release to fix the bug. It can’t come soon enough.

And now for something completely different.

The final poll is now set for my semi-mythical “best blog” competition: it turns out to be a first-round rematch of sorts with an additional opening round winner thrown in for good measure.

Twirling, Twirling, Twirling Towards Freedom overwhelmingly won the second semifinal with a new record 72 votes (65 percent), with Salisbury News garnering 27 (25%) to be the top second-place votegetter. But afterthegoldrush won the first semifinal and gets added to the final field. I think that sets up a father-daughter competition so we’ll see if Joe Albero’s site takes advantage of a split loyalty vote.

The voting takes place through next week, so vote early and often for your favorite!

  1. I would really be curious to hear why anybody would vote for Albero especially after the last couple days. Reported that the Foxwell girl was found when she wasn’t, reported that Dr. Alvarado died when he hadn’t. Almost everyone of his stories can be proven false even his cut and paste ones.
    Then add his criminal history check out the Maryland case search website, it is not pretty at all.
    It really blows my mind that anybody would ever take that guy seriously or have anything to do with him.

  2. Let’s not jump to conclusions, Al. Those ballots could have been found under the cushions of a sofa and delivered to the Board of Elections via a “blackberry”.
