WordPress Glitches

When choosing a theme for your website, one that will carry over to your WordPress blog, don't choose a dark theme. This has become more and more apparent as I kept posting to my blog. Initially the problem was with the numbering of graphics. Under each graphic, there is the opportunity to insert a caption. The problem with using a dark theme is that the caption uses black text and is therefore invisible. It must be manually changed to white text.

That wasn't too much of an inconvenience, although it was annoying. The problem extended however, to the pasting of text. Copying for example from a sequence of numbers in the OEIS, the pasted text was invisible again because of the black on black problem. Other problems occurred when dealing with mathematical content to the extent that I changed to a white background theme.

I've been unimpressed with BlueHost due its slowness and the problems in accessing it all on occasions. I find the whole experience clunky and frustrating, as if I'm back in the 1990's. It has an irritating retro-feel about it. It's hard to believe that this is the most popular blogging platform. I guess I'll persist with it while my subscription is active but I'll definitely be backing up all my posts to Blogger. The guy in the graphic above doesn't really give any good reasons why people hate bluehost but the picture helps capture my mood.
