Not Happy

Have just lost the text of Three Day Sails - Part II. Cannot find server when I tried to save it. I know. I should type it up elsewhere and paste it in, but I didn't. :cry: Another masterpiece lost to mankind.

Then when I try to come on here to have a moan, the soddin' software makes me log in twice as usual.

Moan. Greet. Whinge.

And another thing. Yesterday I had to abandon a chunk of text when I got some bizarre formatting problem which made each line about 3 screens wide.

Just letting off steam. Please don't take this post as a request for any kind of remedial action. I truly appreciate the wonderful facilities which are provided here at no cost to the user.

Never mind..

All sorted now. Three Day Sails - Part II

PS - What's this RSS feed thing about?

An RSS feed creates an XML page linked dynamically to content . . .

Have a look at http://www.bluemoment.com/blogfeed.html

This will update with your latest blog entry every time you change it. It can be put on any website using a simple javascript.

Can't think of any reason why not.

Will this constitute my 15 minutes of fame? Where will it appear on BlueMoment?

I am looking to incorporate rss feeds from maybe a dozen of the more active bloggers to give people an interesting entry into YotBLog, but haven't found a way to do this yet.

I want to be able to limit each entry to maybe 250 words, enough forpeople to be able to decide if they want to click through.

Today's project - watch this space.
