Slowly working on the warning about not refreshing if there is something in the editor box. Usually tired at the end of the day, and  some of this is complicated. 

And I'm doing this on a new computer, which means I had to go through some hassle removing the old database (nothing real in  the local version - just enough to test with)

Now back to the actual work

Is this what causes a blank post like what happened to doppel in her #2?

No - I started a post, deleted it, and accidentally hit Create. Most sites have Submit and Cancel buttons next to each other, so I guess I reflexively tried to cancel.

There sometimes is some formatting in  the box,  with no actual text,  and the editor (which I got; I didn't write it) has a function  that tells whether the box is empty - but if there is just formatting, it  still says it isn't empty.

You can see if you open the code window (</> button; click it again to close)

Not ready to  dive into the editor to fix it.

I'll think about adding a cancel button. Shouldn't be too hard.

One problem is, if I were to show this to potential employers, I'd be sent to the woke inquisition.

Fortunately, I probably am in good shape until I want to retire now.

Oh my gosh I hadn’t thought about this blog from that angle, there is a risk involved in running up against the inquisition. Let’s hope you don’t run into any trouble for this.

I doubt the security clearance people would consider me a threat for this blog. I didn't list it because the request explicitly excluded social media, and that is what this is - a somewhat restricted social media site.

My goodness, what a day.  In addition to work being insane, I had to "ride herd" over Little OR's first day of virtual kindergarten.  By 5 year-old standards, I think he was pretty good about it, but I was still wiped out from having to constantly jump off my work in order to keep him focused on his "class".  

On the other hand, at bedtime, as we talked about geography, he started making up new countries.  He made up one, which had a state within it called "Love My Kitten".
