Google or Pinterest-search Mona Lisa or her name in other languages (i.e. La Gioconda, etc.) and the search results demonstrate how deep and far she runs through every culture’s conscious.
Getting the hang of Gutenberg is not easy. One thing I just figured out is, after entering in your title, press enter and you don’t have those akward spaces after the title which can happen if you add a block unknowingly.
This new block editing mode has its virtues, but I miss the old editor, and it’s going to take some getting used to.
Wait, now I figured out how to delete these blocks that I unwittingly added to this article. In the upper right of the screen, to the right of the gear and yoast symbol are three vertical dots. I clicked that and deselected the view mode “Spotlight.” With that done I was able to delete all the blocks (that are invisibly here). Phew! Relief.
Now how do I get the old editor back? I did it the first time I wrote an article with the new Gutenberg upgrade. If I could just remember the steps I took…ugh!
I did it! I hovered over the left of where a new block or paragraph might go, and I clicked that plus button that appeared. I scrolled down the Most Used options and found something called Classic and BINGO! I got the old editor to make things easier for me. Maybe this new editor isn’t as hard to use as I thought. All it’ll take is some taking chances, clicking around, and see what does what without fear of breaking your blog. Alrighty, I feel better about this now.
I hope this stream of consciousness post entertains you readers out there. Moms, I’m sure you can relate. With anything new it’s an uphill battle at first for anyone. Even expert coders and digital professionals have to teach themselves this new editor with some difficulty. I’m making it work for me, definitely don’t shy away from it. Gutenberg himself would be disappointed if you did.
Every year starting on the first of December, our family watches the Star Trek movies in order. It was an honor that our baby wanted to watch it with us this year. She would stay quiet through most of the movies and stayed up for most of them as well.
Fun fact - our baby’s name Eileah (pronounced eye-lee-uh) was inspired by one of the characters from Star Trek I: The Motion Picture, Ilia (pronounced eye-lee-uh). When this scene in came on in the video below, I was very happy to see that our baby was watching and intrigued by the movie.
Here is our schedule of movies (for 2018):
December 1 = Star Trek I: The Motion Picture
December 2 = Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Kahn
December 3 = Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
December 4 = Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
December 5 = Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
December 6 = Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
December 7 = Star Trek VII: Generations
December 8 = Star Trek VIII: First Contact
December 9 = Star Trek IX: Insurrection
December 10 = Star Trek X: Nemesis
December 11 = Star Trek XI
December 12 = Star Trek XII: Into Darkness
December 13 = Star Trek XIII: Beyond
Every year, we also rank the movies on which we enjoyed the most. I was surprised that our baby watched Star Trek III: The Search For Spock all the way through. Star Trek IV: The voyage home she fell asleep a little bit, but then wanted to get right back up and watch the end.
For me, the list changes every year. This time, I would rank the movies as follows:
I look forward to next year when we watch the movies together again. With each passing year it’s going to be fun to see how our daughter engages with the movies. It really does feel like we are going on a Trek!
