Double Posting with Two Windows

I came up on this the other day for the first time when I was doing a really long post! Most of what I do is on the Micro level, so I rarely get a chance to post anything of any real length. When I did, I hit a huge snag that just about did me in, as I was trying to make a deadline with one of my blogs.

Here it is: When editing a “Draft” you have the ability in WordPress to Preview these changes, as you are logged in to the admin area, in the preview you will notice the word “edit” next to the date and your name. When you press this edit to clean up your copy you will open a new tab in firefox or a new browser window in Explorer. Now it only does this one time, however you now have two tabs or two browser windows open for you to edit in. Once you save in one, you will not be able to save in another. The trouble is, when you hit the preview button and after reading your post you decide to edit and hit the edit link, you should be forced to back-up, like hitting the back button on the tool bar of you internet browser, not the ability to open a new tab or new browser window. Man, ………. I seen some bugs, but this is a killer.

After I had work through my copy and realized my problem, I was like four hours doing this post, and I was forced to stay with it, because I was looking at a deadline.

Once you publish your post and you decide to edit that post, you still get this behavior with WordPress. I’m sure there is a work around, I just don’t know it yet. I just wanted to get this info to you as soon as I realized the problem. So, do yourself a huge favor and when you hit the “Preview Changes” button; after you are through editing, just turn off the tab or window!  If you know of a work around, leave a comment and help us out, please. Thanks. See you next week!

Gone Phishing. Oh Yeah, Happy New Year !

For the extreme blogger, it is a natural evolution to grow your online e-commerce interest outside of your blog. You get a wild hare one day and off you go …….. sometimes before really thinking it through.

I have a number of interest outside of my blogs, unfortunately I don’t really have enough time to devote to them. Such is …

Learning To Live With Internet Explorer

With the release of Windows 7, it appears by all reasonable accounts that Microsoft has navigated the treacherous waters of a failed operations system in Vista and is well on it’s way to recovery. However, this did not preclude me from jumping ship! I wasn’t about to be towed under by …
