There's a belief that there are so many cases of election fraud that even if one example is proven to be false, that there must be some truth there since there are so many accusations.

Add to that that many more people are getting their news not from news stories, but from editorials and you can see how we end up to where we are today.

Confluence HTML Macro, weird caching bug

No matter what I did I was getting JS errors. I finally deleted the HTML Macro and reinserted the same code. Bam it worked. Really?!

Confluence, HTML Macros and CSS

Because Confluence pages already have a Header and Body tags, including them in your HTML Macro section will only cause you lots of frustration.

To use CSS just take what you would have put in the Head section and just put in the body of your Macro window.

You can also add files as attachments, get the absolute URL, and then reference them from within the HTML Macro and it works.
