It was brought to my attention a little while ago that there is a rumor making the rounds that I wrote Karen’s “Dilemma for Whom?” and then attached her name to it and posted it as hers. Didn’t happen. Do you know why?
My writing style is nothing like hers, and the converse is also true. Any regular reader, if presented with a post of Steve’s or one of mine, could tell who wrote it without ever seeing the byline. Ditto Karen and me. That’s one reason – a big reason. Do you know what a bigger one is?
This! WordPress is the “engine” that GraniteGrok uses so that we can write and display the content that you come to read (and we thank you VERY much for doing so). It has features that make our “blogging life” a lot easier. And for the first time, I’m about to use a feature that I never thought I’d have to use: Revision History.
It’s a simple purpose – to track who writes a post, the date it was written, and a time stamp. Also does the same if anyone does an EDIT on the post. So who set up Karen’s post? This guy:
Steve MacDonald, 5 days ago (March 22, 2023 @ 10:10:33)
Steve MacDonald, 5 days ago (March 22, 2023 @ 10:10:22) [Autosave]
Steve MacDonald, 6 days ago (March 21, 2023 @ 09:40:59)
I get it – there are some that confuse me with him (more often, it’s the case of folks confusing Mike Rogers and me – heh!). And we oft laugh when we get (Yes, Liz -> you!) called Steve Murphy and Skip Mac Donald. All in good fun.
But this is serious – I’m not him and he’s not me. We have different user IDs here in WP land.
So we can put this rumor to bed. T’wasn’t me. And Steve only took what Karen sent and put it up on GraniteGrok.
If someone tells you otherwise, laugh at them and THEN send them my way (rubbing hands together over the prospect).
