Upgraded annathepiper.org to WordPress 5.0

This is a test, this is a test, this is a test. This is me playing with the new “Gutenberg” editor that comes with WordPress 5.0, and yep, this is sure different.

Gutenberg is oriented around the concept of “blocks”. It keeps offering me things to do to various types of them, including paragraphs and shortcodes. I’m not sure yet if I like this experience yet. But at least there’s a plugin I can install to restore the classic editor if I decide to get rid of this.

For now, anyway, I’ve got this version of WordPress installed on my personal network of sites (which includes both annathepiper.org and angelahighland.com). Assuming nothing obviously explodes, I’ll be rolling it around to the other sites hosted on murkworks.net this weekend.

Hope it goes well! Looks perfectly legible over on the DW mirror, at least.

Wordpress 5.0 in general seems fine, but I have had to bail on using Gutenberg for now. It breaks other things I want to do with the site.

Fortunately, there's an official Wordpress plugin that restores the classic editor functionality!
