That WordPress 3.9 thingy in practice

Further to a previous blog, I am getting on quite well in practice with this edition and I was wondering how others are doing...?

Did you miss the wee fellah? He says 3.9 is child's play.

Whilst TinyMCE advanced worked on another site, it has not done so on the one I am presently updating. I uninstalled, deleted files and and reinstalled, and I could not make it go live. I junked it, and am now using WP Edit, which is fine and funky. I only have a limited amount of time I am willing to invest in square pegs and round holes.

Dragging and dropping an image is a joy, and although it is early days, a left aligned image has played nice with an H1 tag paragraph "wrapping nicely" and that with a caption too- good stuff for sure.

The next image I went for was from the media library option and went in right aligned a treat and text again wrapped a treat- I am beginning to like this more and more

Just to prove that WP has a resident gremlin community, when I highlighted 3 paragraphs and bullet listed them, the bullet points took but the font defaulted to standard size and I had to redo this aspect...hardly a chore, but worth a chuckle...Similarly when bolding text this resized in the editor to the default, but shows at normal size when published. Go figure. I might be interested in knowing why, but I doubt it. Yawn..

Emboldened, I went for the hat trick, and centre (or if you prefer center) alignment, all good, but no wrapping of text as per usual, so I used the drag handles to make it bigger..sweet! The caption area moved nicely with it too..and appeared to change proportionately as well.

Next time I will do video and audio to see how well they go, but I am expecting pretty much the same story...

Comments, accusations, brickbats, flame-throwers all welcome or ignore if you are having a lie in. Best wishes, Andy
