Where the Heck Have I Been?

OK, first question out of the way - no, I have not fallen off the wagon.  In fact, I’m continuing to lose weight at about a pound a month, same as always.

What’s really happened is that my career is taking off!  I’m much busier, and less bored, during the work day.

Also, this is somewhat less important, but WordPress changed its #$%@*!! authoring interface, and I absolutely hate it.  They made all the features I used all the time less prominent and emphasized all the distracting little stuff I couldn’t care less about.  WordPress people - if you’re reading this - I still hate it.  I don’t really need to see how many posts I’ve written every time I log in, so that does not need to be at the top of the main dashboard page.  On the other hand, when I write a post, I really need to see my categories without scrolling down below the fold, and I need to see ALL of them, not just the most frequently used.  And it used to be much easier to add a new category - the new UI adds several mouseclicks to that process.  So I’m slighly dissatisfied with WordPress now.  Not dissatisfied enough to move my blog, but dissatisfied enough that I am not motivated to write as often as I used to.  >grump<

  2. Congratulations on sticking to your plan to improve your health. And congratulations on your career building.

    Every time I read one of Bix’s postings lately, I think of you. As in “How would the Migraineur cope on Dr. Barnard’s unsquashed-carbs Reversing Diabetes diet?” Because reading your comments still has me fascinated by individual variability. I have been curious how you feel about her posts on how beef and dietary fat raise insulin. Because I know your personal experiences are different than hers.

  3. I’m with you 100% on the wordpress interface. I finally bit the bullet yesterday and updated the blog I have on my own server simply because I don’t want to face the dreaded “you’re 10 versions out of date” day. I especially hate the posting interface for the same reasons you mentioned. TMFC - Too Much Friggin’ Clicking.

    I’m waiting for someone to come up with a plugin to give us the old interface back. wp-original … Won’t help us suckers at wordpress.com though…
