Reblogs of the day

[potboy]

Since DW doesn't have a reblog function, and yet people are saying important things that other people might want to hear, I'm going to do it like this: Everything I want to reblog, I'm going to put in a daily link post.

So. Here goes for the first one - I hope I can settle on a format if I manage to keep this up for more than a week.

• dragonlady7  talking about the root causes of Tumblr's Fuckening and what to do about them
• acidwitch   omg, it's fractal - this is a link leading to a link post with some cute animals, porg rating, fandom trends and more.
• dragonlady7   on whether you can host your images on Google for free (summary, you can't really)
  
• lady_of_ashes   just some fascinating meta about the Dark Side and pagan coding - filigranka  , you might like this

I'm not 100% sure I've got the hang of how to retrieve saved drafts on here, so I'm going to post this now because I'm going out.

Thanks! Yeah, I think that if you're typing a post, it autosaves. Then if you get blacked out or accidentally close the browser or something, the next time you go to make a post it asks you if you want to restore from draft. But I don't think there's a way to save more than one draft at once, or curate and organize them or whatever. It's better than nothing, though! I remember losing whole posts in LJ :)

I'm not sure how the email thing works, tbh, but yes, my next choice was going to be to save them all in a WP doc or something :)

oh but I have already learned, to my sorrow, to NEVER RESTORE FROM THE AUTOSAVE. It DOES NOT WORK. It doesn't matter what time it says it saved the file, it WILL restore either a blank file, or an entry you posted long ago. It is worse than useless, and DO NOT EVER rely on it for ANYTHING.

Oh no! It worked for me that one time, but if it's not reliable I'll stick with the posting as private routine instead :)
