I’m a complete dink sometimes. For the past month, I’ve been making sure everything on the new site works. I click links. I double-check banners. I scrutinize for the proper placement of buttons. I test those buttons too. I’ve crawled over the site meticulously and far better than any Google bot.
And yet, I cannot type a URL properly.
Case in point, our Moving Day post, in which I stupidly added www to the RSS feed subscription link. It’s corrected now, but the feed’s been burned and published.
So. Please feel free to subscribe to our new blog, Men With Pens, via the PROPER link here.
I’m going to go have more coffee now. And kick myself.
“Feeds been burned and published”
So? Correct it, reburn it, tell Feedburner to re-get it. Yes the folks that popped early have the mistake, but the sooner you do that, the fewer people who see it.
Hi James – I really really like the title of this post.
Kidding of course!
I like the look of this new site!
Tony…? I don’t have a clue how to reburn and retell…
@ Scribette – not *this* new site… THIS new site!
And I am an idiot. Sometimes
D’oh!
You do know this comes as no surprise to most of us that visit; right? I mean, really! I am pretty sure we are close in age (you, me and Harry) and I am positive you’ve had more than your share of “pre-senior” moments…teehee. I have, but don’t tell anyone; it’s our little secret.
It will be okay; this too shall pass.
Well, my specific strategy was to make it plainly clear to all from day one that I have a terribly scattered brain and can’t be held responsible for anything that I say and do. So far, it seems to be working
I realized I was creeping up to pre-senior when I started needing afternoon naps every now and then. Though the PC-term is “crashing on the sofa for a few minutes” and I do defend the action by stating that I get up before the sun.
Ha, ha! I have to admit, if woke up as early as you I would be in dire need of “crashing on the sofa for a few minutes”.
Us ‘Pre-Seniors’ rock though, don’t we?
*shakes head* Pre-seniors….great.
My parents, who live in a retirement community of the same name call that a “Sun City Moment”.
@ Laura – Harry’s even more Pre-Senior than we two.
(hehehehe)
You guys are great! I think I actually have to get some work done though…ugh!
@James–I have a feeling Harry will have something to say about that.
@Harry–You like my ‘pre-senior’ (of course I made that up) comment? I figure, I am not a ‘senior’, but definitely ‘pre’..*snicker*
@Laura: I’m not sure. I’m 42, which is too close to 50, and then 60 is right around the corner. I really try not to think about it.
@James: shaddup.
I mess up urls all the time, too.
Good, I don’t feel so lonely now
We’ll mess up URLs together.
Doh! Good thing you caught though and have corrected the issue.
Sometimes it seems like there’s 1000 steps to cover. It’s easy to miss little things.
Optimizing is gradually refining the little flaws in site-building, writing, dentistry, etc. Seems my life is all about optimizing, and I love the game.
