AN AWFUL TERRIBLE HORRIBLE DAY AT WORDPRESS – Marilyn Armstrong


So WordPress is at it again giving us “improvements” that many of us don’t need and don’t want. It reminds me of my mother’s suspicion of any packet that said “New. Improved” at the supermarket. Whenever they did that to pet food the cats would not eat it.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. My current housemates are Cindy, my 14-year-old Staffy-Lab X dog and Polly the world's most unsociable cat who is seven.

  1. I could figure out how to change the font size in one of the new paragraphs. I gave up, rewrote it, and deleted the original version. This is the most overly (and unnecessarily complicated) format yet. A whole lot of extra work to accomplish the exact same thing.

    • I saw something about it a few months ago and got worried but then heard nothing more and thought perhaps it was only meant for WordPress.org but I should have known better. Sometimes I write Q&A posts on a Word doc first and paste them in to WordPress though I still usually have to format a bit if I do that. I don’t really like to create posts that way though because I like to add the photos as I go.
