Some of you have been receiving an "Internal Server Error" message when you try to publish. As a result, you attempt to republish several times. As it turns out, the error message seems not to indicate a real problem. The original post actually publishes.
However, to be safe, I recommend clicking back and saving the post as a draft.
The issue began showing up about the time Jeff's blog had a legitimate problem that was causing his site not to work. This other problem may be due to server load.
