Because the font is so important. This is actually the default font for the WordPress back-end, I got to like it. It's a little more crisp than the default sans.

Web Stuff (1/5)
Notes on WordPress, php, html, css, search engines, and anything else that I think is worth remarking on.
From Wikipedia:
"Feature creep is the excessive ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, especially in computer software, video games and consumer and business electronics. These extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and can result in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design."

WordPress' back-end administration interface is like a machine gun aimed at your foot. There are so many things that work badly, or create a giant mess behind your back. Here is a code snippet that you can put in your functions.php to disable some of the worst of WordPress' "features":

I've been experimenting with some Gargle stuff lately, and the experience is not good.

Here is the css file that I include in my theme ( one of many, actually. ) This file pre-defines a lot of CSS options as classes, which makes them much easier to use. Include this file in your theme header, and these classes will display properly in the Gutenberg WordPress editor. In fact, I am using them now.

Web hosting is not what it used to be. Unstable servers, insane server caching policies, and tech support that only makes things worse.

WordPress has always made a mess of images, but the new version is worse than I have ever seen. The server is polluted with gigs of unused crap that WP automatically generated and discarded. Yet at the same time, there are piles of broken image links. What the hell is this "smart" system doing?

I put the finishing touches on the web stats programming, and after a few days I can confirm that most of the traffic on the internet is bots. That is, machines querying other machines. Only about 20-25% of the traffic is human beings. So if you're one of those, consider yourself special.

This is my attempt to recreate my very first bass, a "Montaya", as well as one of my first ventures into 'modding'. These SX's are great instruments. For 109 bucks you get an alder body with a beautiful 3-tone sunburst, a decent neck, functional bridge & tuners, and a flawless finish. What you don't get is any kind of useable pickups or strings. On this one, I installed a USA Fender pickup, my favorite d'Addario strings, and gave it a careful fret dressing and setup. I also added the tortoise pickguard, rosewood thumbrest, and ashtray for the looks only. At the time, I was going purely from memory, but I later found a picture of the original, and I got it dead right.
