paigenicole23:You don't need to create a test post to check the status of your ticker-as soon as it is updated/changed, it is in effect with all of your posts so you really only need to find an old post of yours and check, not create a new one. Also, I have heard it takes a lot of hitting save to change it.
This. Try hitting save 20 or 30 times in a row and it should work.
