Relative Something

Here goes nothing. It’s not that I didn’t see this coming. The WordPress software I use to publish this blog has updated again in a way that has made my old mode of composing disappear. The world wants me to use Block mode to create my web pages, but I prefer the Classic mode.

When I selected a host for creating a website for my high school reunion, I had to use Block mode. The “efficiencies” this technology offers are cumbersome to me and do not make it easier to control the way things look.

WordPress offers a block called “Classic Editor” that apparently fools me into thinking I am in classic mode while typing inside one of its “Blocks.” I’m underwhelmed.

Here is my attempt to insert an image:

I was previously able to modify the border width and color, but that feature has disappeared from where I used to find it.

I’m going to pretend I’m not bothered by the software changes, in an attempt to look like the calm and carefree horses in the image above.

There was a little excitement regarding the horses last night when Cyndie received a message that “This Old Horse” has a plan for replacing Mia when she is adopted at the end of this month. Since we don’t know what the plan is, Cyndie will be checking with folks to find out what she can learn.

She is hoping to have a chance to meet the horse before it is brought to our place. I’m thinking about what the dynamics will be like for the other three horses when these changes happen. We will be closing some gates to keep the new horse isolated for a time while they all adjust to the new situation. It’ll be all new for me, as I’ve never been involved with these kinds of changes among members of a herd.

Hopefully, it will be easier for me than getting used to changes in software that eliminate features I used and force new ways of doing things that I don’t find intuitive at all.
