First entry in Greymatter

Wed, Feb 7, 2001 at 8:04:00 pm PST

Still looking for alternatives to blogger, I've discovered Greymatter, a self-contained weblog system written in Perl. This is my first entry in the Greymatter weblog.

Hit the tip jar!

Charles:

This is posted from Internet Exploder.

I am not using any P markups in this posting. I had to switch from IE to Opera for the past week or so because my DOS box was being upgraded.

During that time, I used Opera from one of my Unix (actually QNX4) boxes.

You should see four paragraphs here. Shortly, I'll switch to Opera and make another posting

Charles:

This is being posted from Opera.

Still I am not using P markups, just two new lines in a row. This is actually QNX6 RTOS (I think I said QNX4 in my other post from IE.

You should be seeing three paragraphs here.

Charles:

This is still posting from Opera but now I'm using P markups for paragraphs.

However, I see from the last post that these P paragraph markups don't seem to be needed now.

I could have sworn I needed them late last week but I could be mistaken. That might have been when I was using Mozilla for a brief time.

You should see four paragraphs here

Well, I added some code that may have fixed it. Try adding the P tags like you were doing before, please.

Charles Wed, Oct 23, 2002 2:20:31pm

Hmm. Well, whatever the problem was, it seems OK so far. I think my code changes may have resolved it. Thanks for testing.

Charles:

Now I posting from Mozilla and without P paragraph markups.

Hmm, looking at the last posting with P paragraph markups from Opera I see double blank lines between paragraphs.

This behavior seems quite wierd and different than it did last week or even earlier this afternoon. Then, each paragraph (with P markups) seemed to be jammed into a different comment item with a separate number

You should see four paragraphs here. I hope these postings give you enough data to figure out what happened.

Back to Opera. Now using P paragraph markups.

You should see two paragraphs here.
