j's scratchpad

I wrote my first post for the SLA Conference Blog. It’s on TypePad, so I also, coincidentally, made my first post on that platform. It’s nice how similar the posting screens are to other platforms I use. What’s confusing is that the button labeled Save is really the button to post. Since several platforms I use allow the saving of draft posts, I wondered what that button really did when I didn’t see another button labeled Post. Luckily, I guessed correctly and posted a completed entry instead of a draft of it.

I look forward to posting on TypePad as much as I look forward to writing for the Special Libraries Association.

By the way, the time stamp on that blog seems to be off by a few hours [meaning it's not in the same time zone I am writing from (but then is anything?) or is reflected on the scratchpad].

PS–Trackbacks and comments automatically appear in one of my e-mail accounts. That’s not something I configured, but it sure is incredibly handy! I was thinking I’d have to monitor my posts manually.
