Day 15: Tuesday, May 26

The new normal is establishing itself. I’m still confined to bed, but Maureen helps me with the shower every other day. I can also get in and out of the bathroom by myself with the help of the walker. Still some pain, but getting a little movement back in the broken leg.

I posted on Facebook a picture and an article about the plant sale, and casually mentioned the broken leg so, the word is out.

My blog is coming along. I set up a WordPress account on Bluehost. They seem to be a good vendor with decent support. It’s also the platform that the Acton Garden Club uses. I’m following lessons from Yoast, which I like (so far). There was an issue with one of the lessons about the widget editor that didn’t match the settings in WordPress 7.0, but after a long chat with Yoast I found a plugin that restores the old editor, called “Classic Widget.” It’s not been tested for 7.0, but it seems to work OK.

As far as creating posts, I’m writing them down in my notebook then dictating them into Word, where I can review for transcription mistakes and adjust the phrasing. I then cut and paste the post into WordPress.
