Somehow, in the initial set-up of my Tumblr blog (which is essentially the RSS from this blog), I had encountered a less than ideal UX.

One of the following (or both) scenarios had occurred:

1. I clicked twice on the “submit” button due to lack of indication (aka FEEDBACK) that the request had been processed thereby initializing a replica of the original post . (ps. this is why e-commerce sites tell you not to click the “buy” button twice.)

2. Bug! (It made two links to Rss when it should’ve just made one.)

Note: This is not an isolated occurance. I get duplicate blog posts from friends on my RSS reader all the time, which leads me to believe Tumblr is behind that, as well.
