Being an older guy, I'm used to doing things in ways which work for me. For example, I use the "classic" block formatting style for these blog posts. It just works for me. Today, however, I finally re-installed WordPress' mobile app on my smartphone. Checking my most recent post, it tells me most of the … Continue reading WordPress Smartphone Issue?
