Doing Things Wrong

WordPress Again

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.


The key is the shallow angle between the saddle and the string. A proper guitar bridge has a sharp break between the saddle and the string. This shallow angle causes the classic sitar buzz. This is a very easy part to make from any decently hard wood. A scrap of fretboard blank is ideal. A little experimenting, and you will get it. Then you can convert any guitar into a "sitar".
