Chamblee54

New Regime

Posted in Library of Congress, Undogegorized by chamblee54 on October 2, 2020


The day started out like many others. Get up, do human being stuff, and settle in for the day. One thing I try to do is put something up on the blog every day. Often, it is reruns of things I have previously posted. Today is no different.

It is pretty basic. You find an old post. Right click on the edit tab, and open it in a new window. Then you open a window for a new post. This is where it got complicated today.

For months, WordPress has been warning me that a new editor was coming. Based on previous experience with new editors, I stuck to the classic editor. Today, the classic editor is not available.

Anybody that works with machines is familiar with the new edition experience. You have to learn all over again. Some things will be easier. Some things will be impossible. Features that you took for granted are no longer there. You don’t know what you have until it is gone.

The only thing to do is write a post, and try to figure out the new editor. This is done without human assistance. You can scroll through a forum, or try to decipher some instructions. Mostly, it is open menus, and look. The first step is to write text, and mark it up.

The next step is finding pictures. Photographs, and graphic poems, are an essential part of chamblee54. I honestly don’t know how I am going to add photographs to this.

I try to add photographs. You have to insert one picture at a time. The instructions are useless. Finally, I hit publish by mistake. I go to a menu, and look up the post to edit. It gives me the option of editing in the classic editor. I take this option. This is enough brain damage for one day.
