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.

Ribbed Mussels

The Ribbed Mussel is a cousin to the edible Blue Mussel. The main difference is that Blue Mussels are found out in the clean ocean, while Ribbed Mussels are found in smelly marshy places. And the ribs. So you wouldn't want to eat a Ribbed Mussel. Actually, I don't care for Blue Mussels either, but back in my diving days I used to collect them because back at the dock you could trade them with the fishing boats for tuna steaks and all kinds of good stuff. Like trading gravel for gold. Blue Mussels form a thick layer over almost anything solid, and the ones I got were much bigger and better than anything I ever saw in the store, where they are also very expensive.
