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.

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.

This beauty is Evets' reissue of a 1960s Danelectro Hornet. The solid-body Hornet has the same body outline as the Silvertone 1452, a sort-of cross between a 1457 and a Fender Jazzmaster. But unlike the slab-sided 1452, the body of the Hornet is a continuous curve, front and back, with a completely rounded edge. ( This is as sexy as a guitar gets, but makes it a little slippery on your knee. ) The reissue from Evets has the same contours as the original, and even the same 'lightshow' pickguard. The three-tone sunburst on this one was an exclusive to Guitar Center. I picked this one up as an 'open-box' from their subsidiary Music123 for a song, so to speak. The body was originally slathered in dullcote, which I polished off, resulting in a beautiful shine with just a bit of orange peel that I left.
