So, there I was, just messing around with a new theme for this website, with my brain completely shutdown, when I decided to import something from somewhere for some new theme. I noticed that the import also added a bunch of fake, placeholder posts to my site. No big deal, it only took me a minute to remove them again. But then I heard the notification sound that my Outlook uses when new mail arrives. I didn’t hear it just once. I must have heard the sound about 25 times within 8 seconds. It was then when I realized then that the website has probably sent out a ton of notifications to everybody who subscribed to my blog. If you are one of those people who basically got spammed with 25 mails due to my stupidity, then allow me to apologize to you personally right here. I wouldn’t blame anybody for unsubscribing after this fiasco. I would probably do the same. Anyway, I’m sorry, won’t happen again. Although, it might! I don’t know.
I was under the impression that I was only importing a themed layout for my website. I had no idea that it included a bunch of garbage. I’m hoping that my stupidity will be a lesson for one or two of you fellow-bloggers. Never import any crap that you are uncertain about. Especially not on a website that is in production. I’ve learned myself a lesson today, that I should start building a test or staging website as soon as possible! So today I learned, so today was a good day.
