Doing Things Wrong

WordPress Media Library

Yet another feature of WordPress that really doesn't work well is the Media Library. The problem is when you have a great many images, it really bogs down and becomes very difficult to find anything. To make it run faster, set the thumbnail size to 200x200, and use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to do what it says. This will result in true thumbnails that will load almost as fast as you can scroll.

As I said earlier, zero-out all the other image sizes, and add the code I supplied to stop the insanity of WordPress image handling.

This is the jig as I first built it, with a drill guide attached to the end. That doesn't work very well. The jig is made from 1x2s, 1x3s, and MDF for the base, mostly scrap. The eye bolts are used to secure the workpiece. The new router plate makes the centering block obsolete. Yesterday I sank a dozen screws into the jig itself to stiffen it, re-glued the rails, and semi-permanently mounted the pine spacer under the neck.
