The Navbar And The Flag Blog Button

Ever played with a hand grenade, or seen it done in a movie? The scene in Stripes, where Capt Stillman accidentally pulls out the pin on one, is a classic.

If you pull out the pin, you better have somewhere clear to throw it, and quickly. If you let go of the handle, for even a second, and the fuse lights, you better act fast.

Some folks play with the "Flag Blog" button on the Navbar, and think they've just lit a fuse. Fortunately, it's a fuse that you can extinguish easily.

The button is a toggle.
  • Click once, turns on.
  • Click again, turns off.
  • Click again, turns on.
If you click it an even number of times, from the same computer and same browser, while logged in to the same account and viewing the same blog, you're OK. No harm.

(Note): You may find it necessary to clear your cache, to ensure an up to date view of the flag.
