<\/a> There’s a serious bug in this blogging software. As I’ve complained in the past, I can’t use simple html in the posting window, unless I use Internet Explorer. If I try to blog something using any other browser, all my little ‘s are turned into &’s and ;’s, and hyperlinks lie dead on the ground. I am not doing anything wrong — the fault is in the software. Another example: I’d like to post a Flickr badge in the sidebar, but that’s not possible either, because my blog turns Flickr’s code to gibberish. And incidentally, the Flickr code is good — there are no mistakes in it. I checked (“view page”) on blogs where it’s successfully displayed, and it’s exactly<\/em> the same as what I’m trying to paste into my sidebar.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, somewhat bereft of sleep, I foolishly thought I’d quickly update one little link on that useless “blogroll” page I have (which is actually a “story,” according to this blog software’s categorisation; i.e., it’s not a “post” — here called “news” — it’s a separate page that I can’t create using MarsEdit, the nifty mediating software which has been saving my sanity for the last few weeks …and oops, my free trial is probably about to expire, so I guess I better pay them), I say foolishly because instead of firing up the old IE, I opened the page using Firefox, added Chris Locke’s Chief Blogging Officer<\/a>, hit the little update button and promptly fried the entire page. Sigh. Hence I spent the past hour in IE, recoding all the links, and now I really hate blogrolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
