WordPress Going Bonkers
Look at this video of trying to edit a post on WordPress.
Every time, I move the cursor from icon to icon, the icon changes.
Is that a feature or a benefit?
An Unfair Playing Field
I’m not talking about the proposal to use artificial pitches, but the fact that Mancester City have made a record loss.
In a few years time, the teams that win will be those that have the biggest budgets and pay the highest wages.
Surely, we can create a fairer system than this. Even if we upset the sheikhs, foreign and currupt businessmen, who don’t understand the offside rule and dubious oligarchs, who want to own our game.
How about these new rules?
- Penalties can only be given to the home side.
- Every player registered by a club, can sit on the bench.
- If a player earns more than a million pounds a game, he can’t be shown a red card.
- The club with the largest budget, gets all the gate and TV receipts.
- Fifty percent of matches are played overseas.
- Fans who earn less than £20,000 a year are not allowed to buy tickets.
- Clubs don’t have to release players for international matches.
- No relegation.
- The winner of the FA Cup is drawn by lots. Clubs put any number of tickets into the pot at £1,000,000 a time, for the prize money.
Simon Barnes on Blatter
Simon Barnes is one of my favourite columnists and he said this in The Times today.
Dear reader, if you have ambitions of achieving power without responsibility, give up all thought of standing for local council or joining the civil service, or becoming head of state of a small African country. Go into sports administration instead.
You can be as mad, as foolish, as ridiculous and offensive as you please, but so long as you keep the sport a-coming, you will be safe as President-For-Life. All of which explains Sepp Blatter, President of Fifa. Blatter is a man who genuinely believes that he has a sort of King Midas Touch but the President Sepp Touch doesn’t turn dross in to gold.
I suspect Simon has just got himself struck off Sepp Blatter’s Christmas card list. Especially, after the last paragraph.
Blatter has offended women, the gay community, every non-white person on the planet, anyone with any feeling for football, and everyone who approves of such things as honesty, financial transparency and straightforward common sense but he’s just been re-elected. Precisely as you would expect.
I do hope that the British public make Sepp Blatter really welcome at the Olympics.
If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It!
I have used WordPress for many years and their latest upgrade is so full of bugs, you could show it in the insect house at the London Zoo.
It has meant that I can’t upload any pictures to the blog and creating a new post is a real study of perseverance.
If you edit a post, the post or the toolbars don’t appear unless you switch to HTML mode and then back to Visual. These toolbars can’t seem to get their icons right and if you move the cursor over them, the function changes.
Links can’t be setup in Visual mode, but you can do them in HTML mode.
When they coined the name software, it could have been made for this version of WordPress. It’s not just soft, but very very soft!
It’s all total crap to what it was.
