Dec. 20th, 2011 10:18 amA possible solution to the posting problem - might it be my new keyboard's fault?
I have a Mac. My Beast recently felt the need for a more tactile keyboard, and bought one for me at the same time, so I'm now using a keyboard that was plainly made for a Windows machine, which has been adjusted so that the crucial keys (namely, the " and the @ ) are the correct way round when I'm typing, ie the " is like a capital ' and the @ is above the 2. I cannot discern the logic of having the " anywhere else, indeed.
But I'm thinking, maybe the way our keyboard now works with the computer has something to do with the DW and LJ complaints about my UTF-8 encoding? Because nothing else has changed.
What I don't understand, though, is why the Preview function in both LJ and DW shows my entry/comment as PERFECTLY FINE, before it then fails to post. I think I'm entitled to feel just a little bit aggrieved about that.
Oh, bugger. I just realised, this post isn't going to post.
Oh, wait. It did post. Must be something to do with writing stuff in TextEdit first. Gah.
