My first reaction to the changes on Facebook? Complete botch job. If I only wanted a list of status updates I’d stick with Twitter. I’d publish a screenshot but it would be far too intrusive to the privacy of my FB friends.
I can post without any trouble on my Vista laptop while using Chrome, but it seems largely fubar on my XP desktop using Firefox. I notice that the “problems” post made it through, although I didn’t get a confirmation page when publishing it. Not that anyone cares except me.
Tá Lá na Gaeilge ag teacht — is Lá Fhéile Pádraig é, 17ú Márta. As Béarla, scríobh iGaeilge:
I’m proposing that every blogger who has Irish, be it the cúpla focal or a native speaker’s fluency, use that on Lá na Gaeilge by posting a blog or a comment as Gaeilge, or as much Gaeilge as they have, on that day.
It’ll only take a few minutes but it could have a profound impact on the blogosphere and with any luck will get some media attention. It’ll cost nothing and yet it might achieve more than has ever been achieved by grants and language stifling bureaucracy over several decades.
And if a number of the bloggers, posters carry on afterwards, all the better…..
Déanfaidh mé m’iarracht is fearr! Tá lá Twitter na Gaeilge agaibh freisin.
I don’t seem able to post on this blog (if this makes it through it will leave me baffled). I can type it up etc, but when I click on “publish” I just get a blank screen. Refreshing the site shows the post did not go through, and is still in my drafts folder. Suggestions anyone?
