Sometimes if you don’t feel like doing something, don’t do it.
In an attempt to delete my categories so that I can rework them from scratch, I managed to delete an entire page of posts. (Back to 7/16). Fortunately, and for reasons that completely escape me, I’d exported an xml file earlier in the day. It had everything on it, thank god. It also had a bunch of duplicate shit on it, I assume from where I went back and corrected glaring grammar or spelling errors. So, for the last 40 minutes I’ve been deleting duplicate content. (The search enginesdespiseduplicate content.)
At any rate, I got off light. I had to trust that the top duplicate post was in fact the final post on the “Manage Posts” page. No way in hell I was going back and re-read all that shit. Anyway. That’s what happened. I think I’ll wait on the category mission until the wheels turn and I’m a little more alert. Holy hell.
UPDATE: I just noticed that none of the comments in my sidebar link to the actual comment. Joy! Still, I dodged a bullet. If someone would leave me a test comment to this post, just so I can see if it’s an ongoing issue, I’d appreciate it.
