Sorry to everyone who received multiple posts regarding Simon Read’s book giveaway. War of Words really is an excellent book, but I didn’t intend to post that note so many times. I was trying the “New Post” button at the top of the WordPress screen for the first time, and it didn’t quite work out as I had anticipated. The best I can figure is that WordPress kept publishing new versions of the post as I was writing it. I’m not sure if this has to do with user settings on my end or a bug in the WordPress system. But don’t worry — I won’t be using the “New Post” button again any time soon! And, again, my sincerest apologies!
It was rather amusing to watch you write in real time, though.
Wow. I never thought of writing as a performance before.
At least, not a public performance, anyway!
No worries. Remind me not to hit that button when I’m posting. :)
Thanks for understanding! And thanks, too, for emailing me to let me know what was going on!
Hey – it got me here to your post. : ) I wanted to let you know there was an issue. Might not be the worst marketing move…hmmmm. Nah.
Yeahhh…. I guess inundating mailboxes isn’t the best way to endear myself to readers.
At least you made a statement! ;) And for a good cause.
Yes! Simon is an excellent writer!
Ah. This explains it. Happens. We’re only human. And the darned computer knows that!!
Personally, I appreciate the multiple posts.
Cheers!
Feel free to make the same mistake when you mention one of my books sometime!
Absolutely!
I was wondering what was causing the multiple posts. And I agree with August it was definitely for a good cause. I am looking forward to reading that book. Might just have to bump it up a few notches in my “to-read” stack… Which just seems to get bigger everyday…
At least they were well-written multiple posts.
Thanks!
On the upside, I was debating trying out that new post button. You saved me a lot of time and a headache there. :) Sorry it glitched up like that.
Glad I saved you some trouble!
Really appreciate it. :) And if you were going to send multiple posts–it’s really nice to make them about someone else’s blog contest. :)
Apparently it was a WordPress glitch, as some of the comments here suggest: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/publish-faster/
No problem Marc. Hmm… I wonder if that’s going to happen when I try.
According to their website, the problem has been solved, so I think you should be okay!
