Editing The Wakeboard Report from My Windows Smartphone = A Bad Idea

Dear Readers,

Recently 2 articles were published to this site that had minor grammatical errors. I caught them while riding up to New Hampshire with my wife and daughter and edited them on my mobile phone, saved them - and assumed all went well. Today I caught wind that they had essentially been blasted from the site. I discovered that while they had not been entirely blasted, they had been severely clipped.

So, with a heavy heart I had to pull the articles from the site and put redirects in place. One of them took me about 3 hours to compose, late one night. I am speaking of the article about the wakeboarding industry's keys to success in 2008, and my top 10 favorite wakeboarding-related shirts (which is the one that, while seemingly boring, took me the longest to complete). I don't know how it could have all gone so horribly wrong. After all I composed this entire entry on a Windows mobile device, and I think you'll agree - it's long winded! Saved just fine.

The culprit? Me. Of course my Motorola Q is guilty of aiding and abetting a bored passenger on his way to a 2 year old's birthday party.

My Apologies,
Erik
