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.

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?

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".
