That www.projectbluerose.com problem...

Turns out it's a bug in Wordpress 2.5 that somehow prolongs caching long past the time it ought to. I'm far from the only one experiencing it or frustrated by it.

So if you happen to go to www.projectbluerose.com to, say, PRE-ORDER PROJECT BLUE ROSE: HUMAN TOUCH, then you might find the site not looking like it's changed or like it's not got a thumbnail and link to the new page talking about All the Fishes Come Home to Roost in the sidebar. Don't worry: it should eventually fix itself. :)

Argh, me too. I thought I'd just done something stupid to WP...

I don't know why it took me hours after I figured it seemed like a server-side caching problem to look it up online. XD I R SMRT!

Even some desktop systems cache! The Young Lady was having a terribly aggravating evening with that at one point. I finally noticed that it didn't matter which browser she used, she was having the same problem - but things were OK from my computer. I looked it up, and voila - Macs cache! I got to do something esoteric with the Mac command line (!!!) to fix it.

Caching can be great to lessen server load when you've got pages that don't change often, but it's not a benefit when you're attempting to tweak site design! Aaaughh!

I saw it and I pre-ordered!!! XD *is excited* I asked for an autographed copy - is that ok? It doesn't have to say anything special if you don't want it to.

Sure thing! I shall do my best to remember and get Rachel to sign them with me when she's here for A-Kon. XD

If we FAIL and forget to, remind me and we'll get you a signed bookplate. :D
