Do you ever do things too fast...and then mess up...and have to start again?

Of course.  I think it happens to all of us.  And, it just happened to me today.

 

So, I was hot and tired...yes, today it's been so humid.  So, I just couldn't wait to jump into the pool.  So, that's all I could think about it.  (And, BTW, the pool felt really nice!).

 

I wanted to get this quick article done before I went down to the pool.  The whole purpose was to see if I did a post on Active Rain linking to my new article about 8 ways to decorate with gray how fast it would index the new article.

 

So, I wanted to see if it would index right away, or by the time I came back from the pool...or some other day.  I was just curious, so that I would know what to expect.

 

Stupid me...I posted the article...and the link was to the wrong site.  Thank you, Dorie Dillard for alerting me so I could fix it.

 

I went back and fixed it, but I have no idea when google will recrawl that, so it pretty much messes up my experiment and ability to measure.

 

So, now I'm writing this new post so I can restart my timeline and accurately measure. 

 

Sorry about this boring post.

 

And, it's a good reminder to me to both slow down and check my links!

Dorie - Thx so much for alerting me.  I never would have known.

Oh, man, I hate it when I link to the wrong URL, but it is so easy to do. You think you have it captured but you've copied something else to the clipboard so when you paste, you don't even notice it. Very easy to do.

In fact, I'm also guilty of clicking on the wrong attachment to MLS. A few months back an agent called to say hey, do you know you have uploaded your tax returns to MLS? Ha, ha, ha. True story. Too much crap on my desktop and I clicked on the wrong file. Fortunately, it was an attachment on a Sunday night to a slow-moving listing, but still . . . how wrong can you go?
