This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve forgot to tell you this last night. This is not a drill – drills go Husky-Husky-Husky-Husky.
For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Saving), Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 am local time. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com or it is a WordPress stand-alone blog), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.
Again, this is not a test. Had this been a test, you wouldn’t have been given official news, instructions or information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.
Steve,
Two things…
1) WordPress is now capable of handling the Daylight Savings Time changes by letting you “Choose a city in the same timezone as you”. It then does the work of figuring out when that timezone is in daylight/standard time.
2) Ed Morrissey wrote: http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2013/11/04/video-on-vacation/
I second what ITguy wrote in a comment there:
I hope you do that.
Cheers!
1) That’s what happens when I’m gone from blogging for a year – WP throws in a few new changes that I missed.
2) You can bet that topic will be coming up. I don’t know what day yet, but it will be coming up.
Sounds good.
Current Drudge Report (archive here: http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2013/11/05/20131105_013727.htm) is featuring this headline and link:
Federal Debt Jumped $409 Billion in October…
And here are some links you might want to use…
The $409 billion increase in the reported debt in the month of October really represents the amount of new debt created from May 18th to October 31st (five and a half months, not 1 month).
Effectively, there really isn’t a debt limit, because when we hit the debt limit, Treasury just plays a shell game, continuing to borrow beyond the limit until the limit is raised.
