Posts in: Help

@donnydavis - a little help on your drafts action please.

I have just been reassigning and reorganising my tags in drafts

See image below.

As part of my sorting - I have removed all the posts under your action and starting again.

BUT - whatever I do - I can’t delete that domain:https tag - even though all those drafts that used that have been deleted from my system. I even deleted the action itself. Still there.

Any ideas?

For months I have had 4 ghost messages in ๐ŸŽ Mail. That’s 4 ‘unread messages’ according to the count - but no messages there.

It’s a known problem that has been there through many versions of OSX. In the past, I have always been able to flush it out with various tools like delete the plist, rebuild etc etc.

This time round - nada. I learned to live with it.

Until yesterday.

Out of the blue 13 more got added to the count. They just appeared (if that doesnโ€™t confuse you - because of course the whole point is that they do not actually appear!

So now - a total of seventeen. FFS … Apple. Hello?

How long should it take my blog to settle down after a big Wordpress import … it all went in … seemingly just fine - but the blog itself is not showing posts that were NOT part of the import - for example searching for ‘silo’ or ‘๐Ÿ“บ’ does not pull up my review of same - despite it clearly being there in the back end.

Quite a while it turns out, At least if you have thousands of posts.

Thinking Allowed

This is a People First post that was originally on the People First domain. It has been moved here as part of my domain consolidation program. Itโ€™s a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.

Why is it so hard to resize, align right and remove drop shadow on an image in MicroBlog? I’ve lost count of the iterations I have tried.

For example this one looks fine in Mars Edit and then … well - click through to this to see what I mean.

Thankyou @vincent

Notes is once more becoming part of my information storage solution. It was already pretty good - but with what I sense is coming later this year - thought I would push some stuff around in ther again. Adding a horizontal line is still ridiculously not easy. BUT I found this, which is a pretty good hack that works.
