{..::Topic::..}: My blog is messing with my head

SIDENOTE: my blog has miraculously found my second missing post, so now I sort of have a double post and I don't plan on deleting the one. But I'm confused. I pressed publish and everything and it didn't appear. This time I hit post (and copied my post, just in case) and low and behold one of my missing posts becomes visible. STRANGE.
