WordPress Again

July 9, 2022

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.

Angled Headstock

These three pieces will go together as shown to make a very strong angled headstock. This construction, known as a 'scarf joint', sandwiches the headstock between the neck and the fretboard. Unless the glue fails ( which has been known to happen ) this joint will never break. It also has the advantage of being very economical, as the neck piece only needs to be as wide as the neck, not the headstock. You can use 2-1/2" (3") lumber for the neck and 5-1/2" (6") for the headstock.
