Do Not Wake Revisions Feature

I've written more for Waking the Dead over at the Well, doubling the size of the story, though I haven't finished it yet. Comments are very welcome.

(Also, if you're new, these are the stories preceding it, in reverse order: Yellow Skulls and Dragonfly & Cricket. I'll eventually tag these so its apparent they're part of a pseudo-serial.)

I also discovered that the version of WordPress I upgraded to has a very annoying feature that can not be turned off via the control panel: revisions. Every time you make a change to an entry, it saves an additional copy of the entry in the database, wiki-style.

So if you go in and change two words, you end up with two copies in your database, the old one and the new one. If you go in and change another word and remove a sentence, you now have three copies in your database. Which is a ridiculous waste of space and completely USELESS for my needs or, far as I can tell, for those of most single-author bloggers.

And (again) IT CAN'T BE TURNED OFF via control panel (you have to hack code). Jesus. Yeah, I can hack the code, it's easy to do, but whose bright idea was that?
