Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 5/31/21 — 6/6/21

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I am currently writing from a place of great frustration. Now to mince words but I absolutely hate that new WordPress editor. That may chance as I get used to it but, as of right now, I find it to be clunky, cluttered, and overly difficult. I wouldn’t be quite so frustrated if I had been given some sort of choice in the matter, if perhaps WordPress had given me the option of sticking with the so-called classic editor.

Instead, this new block editor was forced on me and it’s driving my ADD crazy. Things that were once very simple — like determining the size of the images in my post — now have extra steps. For obvious reasons, I write all of my week in review posts throughout the week but that’s not always easy to do with block editor. (For one thing, whenever I try to add to a pre-existing list, the editor tries to create an entirely new block.) Block editor is kind of like a friend who is always so eager to help that they end up getting in your way. Add to that, since this is an ongoing update, there are random moments when some WordPress function will suddenly stop working because it’s currently being tinkered with. It’s frustrating and I’d be lying if I said it hadn’t effected my productivity my week.

But you know what? I’ll figure it out and we will survive. This site had been through a lot since 2009. If nothing else, TSL survives.

(Late Note From Lisa: About an hour after I wrote the three paragraphs above, I figured out how to switch over to classic editor so yay! I once again love WordPress and I’m totally looking forward to next week now!)
