What I said I wasn't going to do

December 11, 2021

I have restored the links in the dive sites charts. A lot of dog-work, but it's a lousy day outside, so why not? A while ago I worked out a way of doing it that WordPress won't eat, and did the Artificial Reefs. The clickable charts were always my favorite part of the site, and I really wasn't happy to give them up, although overall, the transition to WordPress was worth it. Now they are back, and better than before.

WordPress sites are all rather blah, in my opinion, like they were all designed by the same 8-year-old. It doesn't matter what theme you choose, they all look blocky and bland. My goal in WordPress was always to recreate the old html site. I think this is the last piece.
