I have taken what I hope is a permanent Facebook break.
Here is to the new year that is coming. Here is to the new WP editor Gutenberg. It uses blocks instead of a stream of text. It is very intuitive. It broke two of my largest websites.
The biggest challenge with WP over the last 10 years has been video insertion. The video player has always been janky and unfriendly.

Not getting it. If there is not way to consistently attach attribution to a work how can anyone really use the CMS in a manner that does not automatically involve ripping off artists.
I am hopeful that some smart person will create a plugin that will transform the big old site into Gutenberg. Each paragraph is its own block. I am finding this quite different from writing English.
There is a collection of sweet little sharing buttons in the publish pane. However I can no longer post to Hugh MacLeod on FB. I can only post to a page on FB. This is a FB problem. So is there any point at all to just posting to Twitter? Certainly no point in posting this. 🙂

So I am uploading the gif here to be able to link it to FB. FB sucks as usual. The instructions on WP states “one must be certain to insert full size.” Â I don’t write this stuff.
It is time to talk Star Wars. If you have not seen the iconic reboot yet then you don’t care enough to be concerned about spoilers. The following spoilers won’t wreck the movie for you. Star Wars 7.0 is a campy, hilarious action packed romp of nostalgia. Go see it. Continue reading “Spoiler Wars”
