Brawling

November 6, 2020

I had a knock-down-drag-out brawl with WordPress over how it should work - the way it wants, or the way I want. I won. The back-end editor is now almost WYSIWYG, and the front end is behaving much better as well.

In addition, between some features I have discovered and some things I am forcing it to do against its will, I think WordPress can now do all the styling and niceties of the old html site.

The site is slowly transforming into a true database - I can slice and dice the entries in many different ways, and the whole thing is also searchable.

Winds & Waves

Winds are named for the direction they blow from, not to. Therefore, a west wind blows out of the west, toward the east.

Waves are created by wind. The factors in the mechanics of wave creation are wind speed and direction and fetch. Fetch is the distance over which the wind acts on the water. The longer the fetch, the greater the wave-building action. Similarly, the greater the wind speed, the greater the wave-building action.
