Today's post, with its upload of a Dog of the North proof page, has appeared with last Sunday's date (because that's when I started it). OK, it shouldn't have taken a week to write 70 words, but even so, that's a software glitch by any standards...

Yeah, Blogger has made some very odd decisions in their implementation, and one of them is that the default posting date is when you began writing the post, not when you published it. It's sort of the "Dear Diary" model of blogging.
If you're editing/writing a post, though, there's a little "Post Options" link down at the lower left corner of the box. Click on that and it will open a drop-down menu that lets you assign whatever date and time you like, and then it will post them in that order--rather than Dear Diary order.
(I know this because very few of my posts are published on the day written...)
PS. Proofs look great!
When I printed mine out from the PDF file, they looked a little funny. Then I realized they weren't designed to fit on American-sized paper...
That's a useful snippet of knowledge, David. Thanks!
As to American paper sizes, one of my favourite notepads was an American one in that "slightly bigger than A4" size with yellow lined paper. There was something airy and expansive about it; now sadly all used up, with the added ignominy of the last few sheets being used for shopping lists...
Ah, that would be our so-called "legal size." Which I suppose implies the size of the other pads must be somehow illegal.
I'll bring you some next time I visit the UK.
Just a quick question - why does the proof seem to think the book's called The Dog In The North? Have you decided that 'Of' doesn't quite cut it, Tim?!
It hardly inspires confidence in the typesetter, does it?
The header is wrong all the way through: luckily they cut that bit off!
