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":

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.

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.

I've always had a distrust of WordPress 'plugins', and tried to keep them to a minimum, especially when I had a lot of sites to administrate. But on this site, I decided to try something different, and threw in any plugin that looked interesting.

Danelectro is my favorite type of guitar, simply for the genius of their unorthodox, inexpensive, yet highly effective designs. I love the tone of old-growth masonite. If you are looking for details, the Pro-1 Bass is the most complete build documentation.
