If you follow my blog closely my last post about Showtime just appeared today, but is time-stamped on the 12th. I encountered a strange problem I haven't had time to fix until today (I've been busy with career fair stuff and school work).

I came across a problem where I couldn't post new pages or entries (nodes in Drupal speak). Drupal was trying to give new nodes the same ID as posts I have imported from my old blog system. Various Google searches didn't find anything helpful. My first thought was that the auto-increment feature on the table wasn't working right, then I eventually found out that Drupal keeps track of the IDs itself in another table totally disregarding the auto-increment feature placed by the installation. Doing a search for "drupal key node nid" found the answer.

So yay! I can post.
