Quick note to my followers, I see many people are having errors upvoting, commenting and posting today. Use http://steemitstage.com instead of steemit.com and you'll have a much better experience!

(Note: the text in the subject was generated by https://lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator, which I saw today in a post here.)

I learned about the "staging" site earlier today. I'm not sure why both sites don't have the failures -- which tells me it's not being used correctly as a staging area, which is actually great for the results I'm getting! The interface is identical to that at steemit.com, unless you've added the "Steemit More Info" plugin which I also learned about this morning:

https://steemit.com/steemdev/@armandocat/steemit-more-info-1-4-chrome-extension-firefox-extension

I've asked the author of that plugin if he can update it, so that it works on both sites.

Don't put your password into any random site though!

Several people lost their accounts briefly, two of whom I know got them back, @sallybeth23 and @samstonehill (who created @samstonehilltube while waiting for account recovery).

The lingojam site, which made the text in the title, also has another "creepy zalgo text generator", which makes text that looks like this:

Really weird-looking; perhaps appropriate for the next fortnight. :)

Anyway. Enjoy!

I am typing this post on http://steemitstage.com and I will not need to Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C before I hit Post! I might anyway, but I haven't needed to all day.
