I’m Done…For Now
I have been blogging since 2009, when I was living in Texas. WordPress used to be a great place blog. The format used to be really easy to use. That is not true, today. They have shoved the block editor down our throats. In order to keep the classic editor, you have to pay extra money. Even worse, if you want to tweak the settings on your (legacy) theme, you have to upgrade and pay more for that, to get the plug-in that returns your theme back to normal and not “blocks.” I’m tired of this crap. Don’t even get me started on what they have done to the Reader.
This isn’t fun, anymore. I have paid for another year, last month. My history will remain, until the money runs out. WordPress will, ultimately, delete a good portion of blog posts…unless you keep paying, in perpetuity. There is a graveyard of abandoned blogs all over WordPress. Besides my blog posts, I have a library of data from a, now, deceased psychic, Chris Thomas. I would encourage you to read his data, watch the videos and listen to the phone interviews. I also have a documentary on him. If you want to see it, I can provide a link but, it is copyrighted material and you can’t share it.
That’s about it. It’s so much easier to post pictures and talk to people on X (Twitter). WordPress has worn out its welcome with me. I have been hassled enough and I have paid enough. IF things change, I might return but…I doubt it.
I’m done. Goodbye.

Hmmm…where to start… After a long absence, I am returning to my blog. WordPress Happiness Engineers have lost their freaking minds. I still operate in the “Classic” editor. I will NEVER use that nightmare of a “block” editor.
Suddenly, I have these strange, white squares and a “Plus New” symbol.
Here is a better link…

I have also had to adjust my Admin Interface Style in General Settings. WP-Admin in the Classic style does not support the “Add New Post” drop-down I need to get to the Classic Editor. I can only get it in Default style. Can things get MORE confusing, here??? I SO miss the days when WordPress was EASY to use. Now, it is a giant PITA. I spent an hour trying to get a “Happiness Engineer” to explain to me WHY everything is so jacked-up. Has anyone noticed how screwed up the Reader is?
I have been gone so long that, I am having to re-learn how to blog. With all the changes, I am struggling to deal with this insane labyrinth. My absence has been due to my Significant Other needing assistance on a grand scale…and me, still battling my gallbladder. He is improving and I am…slowly.
In July of last year, I joined Twitter (X). Bastion of free speech, they said. Everyone has a voice, they said. Right. At the moment, I have been locked out of my account for six days. Want to know why? I apparently threatened YouTube with the word collapse. Musk stated in a post that he was building a YouTube alternative. It sounded good to me. I reposted his announcement and all I said was “@YouTube, you censor too much. I hope you collapse.” Bells went off, sirens started wailing in the distance and blood began to weep from the walls of my house. I was told that I had used violent speech. How in the AF could I possibly be a threat to YouTube??? *facepalm* I am supposed to be freed from my bird cage in a few hours. SMDH. I will continue to lurk, read & share my blog posts but, there won’t be any other engagement. It’s better than FakeBook, which I left years ago. I do still use Messenger.
Later…~Vic
