Well, that’s the good news.<\/p>\n

The bad news — as you can see if you’ve been a visitor here in the past — is that RAMH<\/em> now looks… different. (And some familiar features may not work at all.)<\/p>\n

As it happens, the broken commenting system (which I described in the preceding post) came about thanks to an outdated WordPress theme. (A theme is sort of a design template, although there’s usually more to it than just the look and layout.) The old theme worked fine until the WordPress software itself was automatically updated to a new version at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

Note that the problem was not in WordPress, but in the theme (which I’d acquired from a professional and had tweaked, slightly, over the years). Every other theme I’ve experimented with in the last few days works just fine with the new WordPress.<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking about changing the theme anyhow, but I figured I’d postpone that until sometime over the summer. Looks like I’ll have to push that schedule up, though.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, the developer of my old theme recommended one of his more recent ones. If I go that way, and you’re interested in a preview of what to expect, you can view the theme demo<\/a> at the developer’s site. (And of course, I’d be tweaking that<\/em> design, too.) One signal advantage of a theme like it — and a reason why I’d been thinking of changing themes sooner or later anyhow: like most recently built themes, that one adapts well to display on a smartphone or tablet screen.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I’m not changing themes (again!) right now; other fish to fry. Just really wanted to let you know comment submission was back on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
