ONGOING WORDPRESS CONVERSATIONS AND A THANK YOU

I think WordPress's engineers come in two grades: really good and really awful. I have gotten a lot of the awful kind, but once in a while, I get a good one. This one has been really good and helpful. Very  helpful. She didn't solve the problem, unfortunately. In the end, it's my problem. If … Continue reading ONGOING WORDPRESS CONVERSATIONS AND A THANK YOU

THE ULTIMATE INEFFICIENT LEARNING OF A GRAPHICS APP

INEFFICIENCY AT IT'S BEST - LEARNING ACDsee WHEN WORDS MEAN NOTHING I have been using a very old version of Photoshop for a long time. It's CSS5 and I know I got it when I left my last job -- and that was 2008? Maybe a year earlier. It could have been 2007. That it … Continue reading THE ULTIMATE INEFFICIENT LEARNING OF A GRAPHICS APP

AN EXCELLENT WORDPRESS UPGRADE

Yesterday I decided to put a new header on my template. I do this regularly and there doesn't need to be a special reason. I just feel like it. I used to put up a new one daily, but that got old after a while, so now it happens when the spirit moves me. In … Continue reading AN EXCELLENT WORDPRESS UPGRADE

SWAG-WEAR FOR ALL

Just as self-publishing has redefined authorship for many people, so has the "design-your-own" clothing business changed what we wear. Specialty shirts for teams, schools, and organizations have long been an industry, but in recent years "swag wear" has become ubiquitous. It's everywhere. There's slogan clothing for anything you can think of. And a whole bunch of … Continue reading SWAG-WEAR FOR ALL

TOO MANY BUTTONS

Some months ago, I bought a refurbished (read "used") Olympus OM-D E-M5. I don't think anyone ever really used it as a camera. Maybe it was a store demo or something like that, but it had all the plastic wrap still on it, so it was new. Except the there's a newer version of it out, … Continue reading TOO MANY BUTTONS

WHAT? ANOTHER THEME CHANGE? GOOD GRIEF, WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY?

I really liked the way Twenty Fifteen looked, especially the transparent left sidebar. It was elegant. Unfortunately, the issues I noticed when I started using it only became more intrusive over the weeks. Slow loading. It not only loaded slowly, it suffered from blackouts, sometimes so long, I wondered if it was gone for good. Text handling … Continue reading WHAT? ANOTHER THEME CHANGE? GOOD GRIEF, WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY?

HUNTING FOR A THEME

Having crashed and burned with Blogly, I'm not about to buy another theme. Probably never. Regardless, we all need a theme, a template for our pictures and writing. During this past week, I used two themes I'd worked with in the past: Yoko and Able. Both are clean and simple. I quickly abandoned Yoko after encountering a problem with font sizes … Continue reading HUNTING FOR A THEME
