You're right -- it's excellent blogging manners to 'fess up to a mistake. If you just quietly delete or correct the post, some smart arse will catch you out.
There's also a nice bit of blogging etiquette for these situations where you strike thorough through the mistake, put the correct text next to it, and then add a note at the bottom to say it's been updated.
I enjoyed the festival, leaving after nearly 8 hours, and then carrying on in the Guest House in Southport until nearly midnight. On the train back, there were quite a few punters who had given up queuing and had just gone a pub-crawl in Manchester instead. It seems the festival has outgrown the current venue.

Bailey. I have never worked out how to do strikethrough on Blogger. Anyone know how?
ReplyDeleteTandleman, you need to edit the HTML and put STRIKE tags around the offending text.
