On timing blog posts

Longtime readers will know that from bookofjoe's inception on August 24, 2004, I always timed my posts to appear at 1 minute after the hour.

I did this because I sometimes confused am and pm when it came to posting at noon and midnight so I figured I'd eliminate that uncertainty/ambiguity.

I was surprised that no one ever asked me how come I followed that practice.

When Typepad shut down on September 30, 2024, and I moved boj over to Blogger, I planned to continue timing my posts to appear 1 minute after the hour.

Uh-uh: as you can see from the graphic up top, Blogger's not amused by my hack and insists I follow its format, which allows posts only on the half hour and hour.

So be it.
