Oh, NaNo web site...

So I don't know how to update my word count on the NaNoWriMo website - and it's not just the 'page will not load' server overload thing. I got onto and navigated (slowly, to be sure) the website last night. And up in the upper right-hand corner there's a little box that says 'wordcount' and next to it a button that says 'update':



I would assume (bad, I know) that I should just be able to click it and update my word count. But it's not click-able. And I don't mean the web page is bogging down, there's nothing to click. And I can't find anywhere else on the site to update it! *sigh* I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Oh, well, I guess it'll be like the other years where I just go from 0 to 50,000 on Nov 30th...

“A vampire, a witch, and a pixie walk into a bar…”

Charlie cut him off. “Blah, blah, blah, yes, and he said ‘it wasn’t my fault the hose exploded, didn’t you see the size of that centipede?’ We’ve all heard that one, Mark, you really need to update your jokes.”

“No, really, a vampire, a witch, and a pixie just walked into the bar.” Mark gestured towards the door. “I call dibs on the witch, she’s hot.”
