Another Day Another Wordpress Bug

Yesterday entry pointed to a story in Lorelle’s blog. Fine, but when I returned to check some data, the story was not there. The answer? The date. It’s scheduled to August, 2. Somehow Wordpress messed things up and published for a moment a story from the future.

Check it:

I use Wordpress‘ scheduler and it works fine, but some glitches WILL happen. It’s a fact of life. SO, if it’s a very sensitive post, do NOT schedule it, let it buried in your favorite editor and only upload it when it’s time.

Movable Type’s scheduler is not THAT smart, if you change the date to the future, MT will NOT store it as a scheduled post, it’ll simply show the entry, with a future date. Learned that one the hard way.
