why do all numbers go to the Front page? It seems like a missed oppertunity to promote some of hootoos Christmas Entries, both Edited and unedited.
Sorry, I don't mean to be critical, and I've seen the coding, so I do know a lot of time and work (and probably a bit of hair pulling ) has gone into The Post's Advent Calendar.
If it's not too late, and you're not offended by my offer, I could copy and paste to an entry, add a different Entry for each number (I've already tried it, I know how), then if you're happy with it, you can copy and paste it back. Then I'd delete mine.

A-ha! A cheat! Trying to read ahead, were you?
It's not even the first of December yet. You'll have to wait until the correct date to click on each number, then they'll actually go to interesting things

Yep it goes to the don't panic page when I click on a number, maybe thats how they done it because you've got to wait till tomorrow

Ah, right, ok. Look forward to that then.
Did wonder why you'd go to all that trouble, then have all numbers going to same page. Makes sense now.
A bit cruel though, I'm an Aries, we're not known for our patience. I stopped buying the Advent Calendars a few years ago, I'd eat them all within a couple of days, well they are tiny bits of
Thanks for your replies ...have to learn some patients now

Yes, sometimes we actually know what we're doing...
(Opening the doors ahead of time is sacrilege! )

Testing the link to Advent Calandar that I've put at the top of my PS, so I don't forget it's here, I 'know' how bad my memory is. like what you've done with the numbers

Don't worry, Christiane, Mala was only joking. Go ahead and open the doors. Currently 'filled' are numbers 1 to 15.

Thanks but no thanks. !!
i got such a shock when I actually - oh well
"na faz mal".
"No harm done" in Portugese.
How did you know I had been. When I got "the" message I removed my entry.!!
No harm done, but I loved advent calenders.

Did you click on a future date then, Christiane? Indeed, no harm done, it's just a place holder for the article we'll upload on the day when it arrives.

That's a very nice compliment.
It's just 48 weeks before you can open a new advent calendar.
Have a merry Christmas.
