“Save” and “Publish” are not the same thing…
The Daily Tar Heel is making its switch to College Publisher 5 tonight. One of the features we’re introducing with the new site is a static corrections page, a la New York Times style. Previously, we’ve published corrections in the article and published the corrections individually, but we haven’t had a single page to view corrections.
For the print edition, I keep up with our corrections, so I volunteered to compile the ones so far and put the html links in to make it easier for our Web editor. I did it in a text document, and wanted to see what it would look like, and make sure the links worked. So I put it on TWF.
I was just trying to see a draft … but I clicked publish. And thus, the RSS picked it up despite my immediate deletion of the post.
I’ve learned my lesson – as Andrew Dunn said, “You can’t take the Internet back.” No more “practicing” on the blog …
