I haven’t figured out which one it is yet, so I figure I might as well hate them all equally.
I just spent the last two hours putting the finishing touches on a masterful look at ssh security, hit “Publish”, and was greeted with a blank white page.
I went back into WP and found my masterpiece hadn’t been saved. And of course, hitting the “back” button did nothing. Maybe I should be pissed at Chrome. Whatever the fuck happened, apparently I was typing into a black hole.
Never trust this pile of shit. Before hitting that “Publish” button, copy everything into an application you can trust, like FUCKING NOTEPAD, and make a backup.
UPDATE: A REASON TO HATE WORDPRESS
I dunno, maybe it’s this brain-dead theme.
Anyway, I discovered that you can’t use a double dash (--) here. You have to use the html code “--”.
Who knew?
Fine. I can handle that.
However, when you re-edit the page, or simply switch from “HTML” edit mode to “Visual” edit mode they turn back into “real” double dashes and you have to re-edit the page and put the html code back in.
FWIW, I took my SSH dissertation and copied it to my BlogSpot blog (from my FUCKING NOTEPAD BACKUP) and the double-dash problem wasn’t an issue. The side-scrolling boxes were too narrow (vertically) but that was easily fixed.
Score one for BlogSpot.
UPDATE: SPOKE TOO SOON!
The side-scrollers were all messed up in Firefox on BlogSpot, but I fixed that, too. Then I discovered that they were never too narrow in the first place. There was a line break that both IE and Chrome just ignored.
