Yesterday, I upgraded my little corner of the Internet. Under the hood at least. New server, twice the space and all for the same amount of money I spent before (1). Finally , I can install and uninstall plugins and themes from within WordPress, without the detour through a FTP client. This sounds rather unimportant, but if you are low on time, little things like that suddenly matter. Besides, with the new Gutenberg editor, there are a lot of new things to try.
Many people do not like the new editor but I love it. Finally, I can do all the things I never had the time to understand code wise. It’s inspiring. I do find my way around a php file, I have an understanding of HTML and CSS, but things have gotten so complicated, that writing your own stuff requires a lot more knowledge than I have time to learn. So yay for people who make my life easier.
Now I only need to figure out what to do with a whopping 100GB of webspace. Time to curate beautiful photo galleries. Show off my art. Oh, and write blog posts. Lots of blog posts.
