Far sooner than expected http://www.angeredbrackets.com/2009/05/first-rant-far-sooner-than-expected/ http://www.angeredbrackets.com/2009/05/first-rant-far-sooner-than-expected/#comments Sat, 02 May 2009 00:52:08 +0000 Ethan http://www.angeredbrackets.com/wordpress/?p=4 Well, I just set up my wordpress based blog (as you can tell by reading it….), and went directly on to setting the blog’s title and subtitle. I got them to show up the way I wanted, but not without some frustration along the way.
See, it seems like wordpress sanitizes the input it receives, and deleted all the text I put between the angle brackets in the title. I didn’t foresee this happening, but was actually pleased when it did. However, in effect, the title was all but deleted. Fine, fair enough. I learned my lesson. So I changed the title from using explicit < and >, to using their HTML equivalents, good ol’ &lt; and &gt;.
Saving that did the job. The title was now displayed with the angle brackets, the way you now see it.
The problem? The input field, where I just typed up &lt;Angered Brackets /&gt;, now contained the parsed value of <Angered Brackets /> – The value I originally entered, and ended up losing.
So the next time I go about making a change to the blog settings, I will have to remember to replace those two brackets with their HTML counterparts, or risk losing the title.

Total time running this blog: 5 minutes.
Level of bracket anger: >>:-\

Angered Brackets is intended as a blog of technology and science, as well as humor, politics and grievances caused in, by or around those fields. How would the brackets be angered if there were no grievances, after all, huh? >:-]
