WP – 6 months

October 8, 2014About, Health, Newsautoimmune, diet, MS, Multiple Sclerosis, pain, Wahls Protocol, WPcb

Six months into the Wahls Protocol Diet.

The Mrs is now baking, doing laundry, cleaning house, and generally overdoing it. Burning through spoons at an alarming rate, yet feeling generally good enough to be bored and wanting to accomplish things. Her pain level is down and she takes fewer meds and less pain meds.

Saw hematologist today. Her blood work is the best he has ever seen for her.

Confession: We fell off the wagon for a few weeks. The consequences (negative) were immediate in terms of weight gain, water bloat, malaise. But we are both back on again now.

Bottom Line: If you are suffering from any form of autoimmune disease, please please consider Wahls Protocol.

THIS IS A TEST

This is a test of the WP for iOS beta interactive editor. [NORMAL]

This is only a test. [BOLD]

If this had been an actual post you would have been instructed to use WordPress for all of your blogging needs. [ITALIC]

This concludes the test of the WP for iOS beta. [UNDERLINED]

UPDATE

Fixed by WordPress for iOS 4.0.2

Released 15 Apr 2015

I’m playing whack-a-mole

WordPress for iOS

Is just like whack-a-mole

• • •

First: Dates saved based on Time Zone offset, so when ever I edited a post the time regressed. Eventually the date changed and all my links broke.

Then: I learned about scheduling. This was a workaround because I could change the date.

Next: WP released an update that fixed the time offset problem. I got used to future scheduling.

Then: The Preview functionality stopped working. It coincidentally stopped working about the time we all started getting Invalid Certificate warnings.

So: I found a workaround

Now: I can no longer schedule posts for the future. All my posts are Immediate. The scheduling feature is what I use to space out my posts. The option is still there … It just doesn’t work. 😦

WordPress for iOS

Using an iPad or iPhone to maintain you site? Using the iOS app?

http://ios.wordpress.org is the site for you. Check out the blog and the forums.

You will (may?) need to create a separate account for the .org site. At least I did, but then again it recognizes me as ‘cb’ and displays my Gravitar.

This site saved my sanity

… You can help!

Read the previous post or the previous several posts. Every time I update a post, the timestamp gets reset to an earlier time. Update enough and it gets reset to an earlier day – this changes the URL and breaks retrospective links.

Would you please repeat my steps, just update a post several times (add space, add a word, delete a word) and note the time stamp. If it changes, reply to this post.

Am I the only one having this problem?

Must have scotch …

After documenting to my own satisfaction … and hopefully to your satisfaction … I need scotch. Smoky not chill filtered, no coloring added, single malt scotch.

Being unable to go back and edit my previous posts puts the kibosh on my ability to tidy up and standardize various grammatical aspects.

I am sad 😦

Mmmmm scotch

42 Days of Pain

In my previous post, I described the problem I having with the latest Version 3.9, January 30, 2014 release of the WordPress iPhone App.

When I go back to update older posts (in this case edits to the Day 42 / The Nudist War serialized novel), the update gets written to a new URL:

https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/11/hzv-day-42/ vs
https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/10/hzv-day-42/

This means that ALL of my links are now invalid. If you try to read the series you will get

Really annoying 😦

I am sure that Automattic will fix this, but it could be a while.

I have submitted a public question about this at:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/iphone-app-39-saves-updates-to-a-different-url?replies=1

I don’t know if this is an iPhone-specific problem or more widespread, but if you edit an older post and the URL changes you now know why.
