Everybody should empty their cache! Everybody.

Everybody should empty their cache! Everybody.

My dear people, in order to make sure that everything will work right on your blog(s), you should do these 2 things:

(1) Empty the cache of your browser. First close all Mo'time windows. Each operating system and browser combination works differently. If you are not sure how to do this, even after Googling "tutorial empty cache" including your browser name (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Camino or Opera for example) and operating system (windows xp or vista, Mac OSx, Linux, for example), just leave a comment here and I'll help you out.

(2) After doing that, write a new post on your blog, or leave a comment on your own blog, or modify the template in some way. This will refresh the database and your blog will be fresh and up-to-date.

Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience, but that's life in the fast lane for ya,

I have emptied my cache about four hundred thousand times over the last few days. And with every new time, it seems like you guys have fixed something else!

How cool are you?!? Thanks!

Yay, it worked! I had emptied the cache before, but didn't close the mo'time window while I was doing it. Thanks, H!

Haven't had to do it. I just want to know what this "scheduled" to be posted thing is for when you go to post something.

It's either a feature or a bug, depending on whether you chose to schedule a post in the future or if the system decided to do that for you...

There is a new option when you post. You can choose to publish immediately, as usual, or at some predetermined time in the future, "publish on". If you choose the latter, when you go to the Edit blog page (via the Edit blog link on the right side of the blog post editor) you will see an indication next to the "Edit" and "Delete" buttons that it is "scheduled". To override this feature, you would choose "Edit", and then click on "Publish now" and then click "Save".

And you can also save a post as a draft. In other words, it remains there for you to work on at a later time. Same deal as above, when viewed in the Edit mode you see it with a label next to the "Edit" button which reads, of course, "Draft"!

Oh, and one more little bitty thing.

There is a bug in this system that sometimes takes your publish now post and sets it as scheduled. Also, when Editing a blog, the default is goes to "Publish on" and makes it the original date of the post. This seems anti-intuitive but actually it is that way to preserve the original date and time of the post and, therefore, its position in your blog.
