I have been forced to create a new life rule that shall never, ever, ever be broken, ever. It came about roughly 3 am yesterday; I had just finished playing with, and adding stuff to my Witchcrafter website. The previous 3 hours had been spent making a new holding page for the blog I have been meaning to start for ages. Creating a template so that each blog post would look the way I wanted it to. And using the Bedroom Facebook post I made earlier in the week as the subject matter for my very first post. I had tweaked said content to within an inch of its life. Adding Stuff, moving stuff, googling words, overjoyed with it, I was. So much so, I even thought to myself, “WOW! Perhaps I should be a writer”? All the above being accomplished using my favoured and time-honoured method of trial and error. I move the cursor to the side of my screen so I can scroll the page up and down to admire my work. It's not moving. I click on the page, but it's not clicking. When it does start to move, it disappears under the header at the top and goes all freaky. I go all freaky, what the hell has happened? It's not the laptop, it's the website editor, I've done something, clicked something, and have no idea what it is that I have done. Panic sets in. I get an idea, I know, I can just back up to a previous version of the website. That will sort it out. I found the most recent backup file, timestamped just after midnight, so I hit restore. It's 3 am Wednesday, and I have just finished adding blog page version 2 to the website. Because this time yesterday I managed to take myself back to a time before blog page version 1 had been f*****g born. Coincidentally, this was also the birth of my new life rule. When updating the website, do not press any button unless you are fully awake and 100% sure you know what that button does! And never type directly into the website. Put your words into a document in the cloud somewhere and copy them over when ready. In summary, I thought it was going to be my first blog post, but it wasn't. It was the second blog post describing the first blog post that became the first blog post. Just like my life, clear as mud lol.
