Fuck! Sorry, guys!
I had IFTTT set up to automate a Tumblr-to-Wordpress backup of my blog, but it looks like a feedback loop got going somewhere.
I’ve deleted all the extraneous posts and I’ll keep that turned off till I can chase down the culprit.
Cheers!
Cured! For some stupid reason I had that WordPress blog connected into my Tumblr. Which doesn’t even make sense for a backup. Whatever, it’s fixed now.
PS: If anybody’s interested in a how-to on all these crossposting shenanigans I’ve been doing (the ones that actually work right, I mean), let me know and I could put some tutorials together.
At this point, I have:
- my LJ automatically crossposting to my Tumblr
- my Tumblr automatically crossposting to WordPress.com blog (set to private because it’s just a backup and I don’t want people following me there)—providing not only auto-backup from Tumblr AND LJ, but WordPress also provides a super-easy method to download all your content to your hard drive and move it elsewhere if you want.
- my Facebook automatically crossposting to drafts on my other Tumblr (I chose not to auto-publish because I don’t want everything from Facebook public on Tumblr)
- my public WordPress blog crossposting to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Google+ at my desire
This stuff is actually all easy to do! Not technical at all. I’ve got a couple of options for crossposting from Facebook and my other Tumblr to my public WordPress blog, but I haven’t decided just how I want to do it. You have to finesse it a little to avoid feedback loops like the one I created here, which involves a little bit of sacrifice.
