WordPress… stop messing with stuff…

Why do you keep changing things?

I am a computer moron, and just as I figure out how to do something, you change it.

But it turns out that lots of people I follow can’t use the stupid new reader. And it doesn’t always show my pictures unless people actually click on the post, but I use pictures to lure the unsuspecting victims… uh… I mean potential followers… into my blog… so stop messing with stuff.

Also, we do not want to know how many people are really reading our stuff compared to how many ‘views’ we get. It is just depressing.

  2. Bleurgh. That crap’s ugly. AND THEY’RE STILL LEAVING THE LIKE BUTTON IN THERE. *hammers his keyboard until it breaks* >_<

    *replaces it* And my stats page seems to have broken to. 😐

  3. Can’t stand the new reader, and sure as eggs hate the fact that my pics aren’t showing up. Boo to WP. 😛

    I am no longer able to do some things when I add a post but I’m thinking they are trying to nag me into becoming a paying customer instead of a free blogger.

  5. thankfully i’ve never used the reader, i don’t know how, welcome to the dark side!

    I agree, I don’t like the new reader. 😦

    I was crushed when they split out views. Only, like, 4 people read my stuff.

    I really can’t even stand the new reader. The GIANT BLUE BAR with the BRIGHT WHITE hurts my head so much.

    Luckily I have the REAL stats page (without the total viewers) and my dashboard bookmarked on my bookmarks bar, so I have access to it with one click until they decide to take it away from me.

    They just know how important it is to breathe. So practise your breathing exercises and you’ll be okay. If I can do it, you can…

    Love it. I totally agree with the luring/inviting readers and the fact that it’s depressing to know all 21 views were the same person – probably doting grandma, too!

    Look at the WordPress forums. Search for WordPress under Explore Topics. You will find a LOT of people who think as you do, or in this case, as I do. See http://irvent.wordpress.com/perpetual-rant/

    Yeah! I hate change, unless it’s for the better which is ok, but I don’t like the new one either, it’s wrong and people need to be held accountable.

    Bring back the stocks in the town square where they must wear their jammies whilst being pelted with rotten tomatoes.
