I’m now using WordPress’ block editor for my posts.
This makes me somewhat of a confirmed blockhead.
I don’t know how I’m going to like it.
But I’ll let you know at the end of this.
So far, so good.
It hasn’t crashed.
Another way of saying that is my head hasn’t dropped from the chopping block. Oh, that was bad, even for me.
Anyway, someone told me sales of Corona are down 40%.
I think that’s funny and a dang shame at the same time.
As the temperature has climbed to 64 degrees (feels like 63), I’m trying to take the good with the bad. So, in addition to using the block editor, I’m working outdoors. It’s actually too warm in the sun to type so I sought shade and a cool breeze to bang this out.
I love the “feels like” component of checking weather apps. It does make me long for the days of mercury thermometers, though, where there was no feels like feature. Back then the temperature was just a number. And there wasn’t anyone going, “You know, Bob, I know the mercury reads 64, but it sure does feel like 63.” Have we really advanced civilization any? You tell me because you already know what my answer will be.
I suppose if I continue to try new things I won’t be at as of high risk of developing advancing senility. Sentences don’t particularly need to make sense here at the sweet spot; we just write ’em and you read ’em.
I’m starting to tire of the starkness of the block editor. I could switch to the classic editor, but it’s just too soon into this for that.
I’m using the WordPress app on the Chromebook. It’s pretty stark. Kind of like the old days where it was just me, the paper and the plume.
March came in like a lamb. Will it go out like a lion? I think that old saying gives short shrift to lambs. Can’t some lambs be at least a tad fierce? It would stand to someone’s reason I’m thinking, if not mine.
Some people prefer to work in their browser and that’s usually how I access WordPress–through a browser. There’s something to this block editor thing here, though, as I’m feeling having really no features compared to accessing WordPress through the browser, really isn’t such a bad thing, especially considering how free-flowing this all is.
Just typing inside these little rectangles (I guess that’s why they call it the block editor) was at first a bit awkward. Now, I’m wondering how come I haven’t tried typing in rectangles before? Oh wait, I actually have typed in rectangles back in the day when I was using Quark XPress.
Until I’m not anymore
I thought I reached the point of no return regarding the block editor. I was beginning to consider myself a chip off of the old block.
But then I realized how lost I was without my word count feature.
Maybe there is a word count feature in the block editor and I just don’t know how to activate it. Maybe not.
No matter. This thing has gone on long enough me thinks.
