🖇️ About This Blogroll Thing

I updated the base to include @ameripie and @jedda specifically.

While I was there - I found some peeps in my Feedbin that I had - but weren’t in the right folder - so fixed that and now the list is a bit longer. Discovering some additional anomalies;

@manton - Is there a way to make that list alphabetical ?

@simonwoods I have you - and I also have ‘TIL’ - but there are two different feeds?

@odd - I pulled what seems to be your feed - but these are your replies(?), whilst your real feed is here - raising in case you didn’t know.

Just to make it easier to check - this is a screen capture of the blogs in the system as of the weekend of 20/21 April. Proving it in alphabetical order. LMK if want to be added - or indeed taken off … all good.

🚧 Logged Blogs

Not a big user of MicroBlog bookmarks - so a couple of months ago I went through what I had and brought it all down to zero.

Today - I dropped in there - wrong click I think - and there are a whole raft of bookmarks that were not there before. (All valid - nothing odd - other than they are there.)

Did something get triggered @manton ?

@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 🍎 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 doesn’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 ‘📺’ does not pull up my review of same - despite it clearly being there in the back end.

// @manton ??

Later

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. It’s a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.

• More about People First
• Other People First Posts
  (not just from the ‘other domain’ … all of them.)

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.
