Yes, you saw a brief flurry of tiny product posts. I’ve just spend the night installing Datafeedr, a new product feed management tool that works hand in glove with WordPress to facilitate store presentation. It’s got this great feature called ‘drip’ (I kid you not) which, when properly set up, will post a product snapshot and write-up on a regular basis.
Being a natural-born button pusher from ‘way back, I had to give it a whirl, pushing all the buttons and flipping all the switches just to see what they’d do. So I set the duration and wait rates rather low, flicked a lever, leaned back to see what’d happen. It worked great!
Then the phone rang.
While I handled the situation on the other end of the ringing phone, the drip feature continued to obediently post – and post – and post. And by the time I’d finished the call, it was blithely preparing its 6th post in 12 minutes. ACK! Durn thing did exactly what I asked it to!!
I caught and killed most of them, leaving the first three in place, even though I hadn’t planned to actually putting any in place until the redesign was much further along.
So, thanks for the patience, and sorry to have flooded your afternoon’s RSS feed!
