A slice of life familiar to teachers… a moment from lunch duty: https://wp.me/p2fY1t-1z6

Hi,
This is a small thing, but you may have noticed that your comment posted with a preview of your post in a box. This happens when you hit the enter key between your teaser and your link. In future, if you either just leave a space or use a colon instead, your comment will post without the box/preview. Just one of those strange WordPress quirks, I guess. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the pro tip. I’m new to WordPress and I hate it when I get a preview instead of just the link. Now I know what I’m doing wrong!!
Thank you😊

I got to have a peaceful lunch yesterday. And it’s all because of back-to-school shopping at Target. https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2021/08/23/ta/
