  1. 🙂 The learning curve with the Gutenberg editor is high, but it is fun once you learn how to use it.

    1. I want to believe you but first impression was not favourable… I will try again though!

      1. 🙂 It was not favourable for me when I first started using it and back then the Gutenberg editor was in Beta.

        1. Why don’t we have choices any more?

          1. 🙂 It was WordPress’s decision to replace the TinyMCE editor with the Gutenberg editor; which was done in the name of so-called modernization.

            1. It’s as if they think life isn’t complicated enough!

  2. I must admit I very rarely edit on the webpage anyway. I write the blog in word, correct it and save it in word, and then just pour it onto my page, add the photograph, a few tags and post it. So the whole guttenberg thing is way past what I need

    1. Same here, Jim… I don’t understand this modern compulsion to keep changing things…

      1. It keeps people in work who would otherwise have to get real jobs, and ensures obsolescence meaning we have to keep buying the new one before the old one wears out

        1. Just plain wrong is what it is…

          1. we sing from the same hymn sheet :-)

            1. and from what I hear, we’re not alone…

              1. I suspect there is growing resistance. I can remember when windows 95 became obsolete, within weeks I was getting so many word documents in the new format that I couldn’t open, I had to change. Yet with later versions people have been taking longer and longer to change

                1. I have the feeling that this is what’s happening with WP, although why it’s affecting everything else is a mystery…

                  1. I think people are just getting fed up with meaningless change they neither want nor need

                  2. Not a lot we can do about it though, unfortunately… (unless we give up and take up knitting)

                  3. I wonder if consumer passive resistance is going to kick in
                    After all it’s getting difficult to sell books because there are so many out there. I wonder if updates might go the same way?
