  1. Blame me, not Joanna, for the typo. I was the one who wrote the headline.

    @Chris, I changed it in the URL. I can show you how if you ever need to do it for one of your posts. Hopefully you won’t have to fix one of my goofs again. Thank you for taking care of it!

  2. @Juli, the problem with changing the URL is that it breaks the links from any previously-posted shares, meaning people who click on the posting to Twitter or Facebook will get a 404 error. I try to avoid that as a matter of policy. It’s not good for traffic to give our readers a 404.
