      It appears that if you create a web-log entry, save it, then come back to publish it, it doesn’t appear on the ‘Global Blogs’ list. Maddeningly, this seems to be because it’s published under the original ‘save’ date, not the ’publish’ed date.

      And if you post two entries in succession the most interesting one disappears.

      And you can’t edit the tags until you’ve published it.

      This explains why one of my posts from last week disappeared, and I’d like a t-shirt please.

      It probably also explains climate change, Intelligent Design and Henry Gee, but they’re not as interesting.

          What happens if you publish the same post twice?

          You end up copying and pasting so that you have two ‘deleted’ posts, thirteen incorrect tags and fifteen hundredweight of stale batter pudding.

          I have it on good authority that I’m inexplicable. Or it could have been ‘ineligible’. I couldn’t read the writing.
