I just noticed that, in the time shown for posts and comments, the month-number appears in place of the minutes. From the format settings it seems to be a WordPress bug. It’s not the host or PHP, because in WordPress admin pages the time is correct.

April 9 is CSS Naked Day, a concept amusing enough that I installed the WordPress plugin to comply with it. As I should have expected, it makes this blog rather less readable than it was before I converted from Blogger and learned enough CSS to make WordPress’s (then) default template less ugly. Back then, I used <h#> and <hr> tags for visual structure; whups, that’s all gone. Next time I fiddle with my Theme, I should give such things some attention. Meanwhile I’ll just turn off the Naked Day plugin.

retro MacOS theme for WordPress. I’m pretty sure this is before it was called MacOS, that’s how old it is. (Hat tip to Bill Detty.)

I had forgotten, until Mike Linksvayer reminded me, that Users must be registered and logged in to comment was switched on. Akismet seems to do a good job of catching spam, so I’ve turned off the registration requirement.

Fellow WordPress users! If you find that bits of Unicode in your archives have recently (=in version 2.2 or later) become illegible, comment out these lines in wp-config.php:

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
