Good morning all,
Over the past few days I have experienced a few problems with my hosted blog. In all these cases the timeline appears in order and the “posts” and “categories” pages in micro.blog work as expected, but my hosted blog doesn’t behave either as expected, or as previously. I have given plenty of time ( I would have thought) for the system to catch up and rebuild any pages/structure, but here are the problems I have noticed thus far, and I would welcome any help from @manton or anyone else that perhaps sees the source of the problem.
Problem 1
I have been periodically manually importing old posts from elsewhere (with a designated category: Blip :: dBlog), but the latest two posts (Goat? What Goat? :: dBlog and "Look Away" :: dBlog do not appear in the main list of posts or under the category listing. Neither appear in the “Photos” list despite both linking to JPEGs and neither are included in the navigation system, so neither have a previous/next option, and the “surrounding” posts (Rest Day :: dBlog and #EduScotICT :: dBlog) are linked together in the navigation skipping the two most recently added posts.
Problem 2
When I scroll back through my list of posts or individually post by post, I cannot go back prior to 12 January this year (:: dBlog), there is no “previous” navigation option, and yet the previous page (:: dBlog) has the appropriate “next” page link. There appears to be a break in the navigation chain.
Problem 3
I have updated the category of my longer posts, from essay
to article
, which has worked in the Micro.blog system, but has not properly updated in the hosted blog. Perhaps I should have done this a different way, but I would have expected the hosted blog to mirror the Micro.blog info?
Any advice welcomed. Using MarsEdit for managing posts, in case that helps.
David
PS: I presume this is now the best/preferred way of accessing help/support?
