WordPress Again

July 9, 2022

It seems the WordPress team has been busy adding "features" to the new versions. Features that raise html errors. Otherwise known as bugs. I added some code to defeat the new "functionality". WordPress really needs to get some good product testers. Testing is just as important as writing buggy code in the first place.

This is a very useful tool:

Some of what I uncovered was my own fault, but most of it was WordPress getting, ahem, "better". Try this page in that tool - right now it finds no errors and two warnings that are both harmless and buried too deep in the WordPress core to be worth going after.

Doweling Holes

Here is a basic woodworking technique that can come in very handy when building or repairing a guitar: using dowels to repair holes. Here, I was a little too eager to drill the mounting holes. Then I found that I had to take about 3mm off the neck heel to line up with the bridge ( you can see the small maple shelf I left to support the overhanging fretboard. ) That means the new holes will be only 3mm from the old holes, practically overlapping. In fact, there is a real possibility that the drill bit would pilot its way into the old hole.
