December 2018 Site Update

Happy holidays!

Busy month for me: A new, major announcement is in the works — you’ll hear about that soon!

In more routine matters, a new version of WordPress came out, and required that I change the way I create and format this blog. Most of the changes seem OK, but I’m wary of the new Gutenberg editor. It’s great for basic text-creation and formatting, but also is so high-level it can become awkward and time consuming to get at some of the underlying code in a given blog page. Ah well.

Separately, I’ve cleaned up most of the Pingback/Trackback clutter in the RSS Comments feed. It took a while to figure out because there are multiple settings for the same things — some controlled by WordPress proper, and others managed by plug-ins that sometimes don’t play well together. Sigh.

Anyway, the Comments RSS feed is much more usable now!

I’m still managing to post at least one new item a day, 7 days a week; that pace seems sustainable (fingers crossed).

And it’s been great to start to hear from readers again — including some long-time readers I remember from the early days of the original LangaList! 

And in that regard, I’d love to hear from you! If you want to ask a question for possible inclusion in a future column; ask a general question; or just say ‘Hi’; the best way is to use the CONTACT page, or email me at: ContactFred@Langa.Com . You also can find me on Quora, MeWe, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Feel free to use any convenient means to contact me or ask a question, but note: my answers usually only appear here.

(Psst! If you want to ask a question but stay anonymous, no problem! Just say so in the message body, and I’ll just refer to you as “a reader.”)

Happy holidays to all!

—Fred
