Okay, I just upgraded from Wordpress<\/strong> 2.0.5 to 2.1.1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, and I mean really hopefully-hopefully-hopefully, Wordpress won't barf on me like a drunken college chick. Wordpress sure tries to be pretty and sophisticated, and I honestly really like the super-clean look of my blog (but that's partly my doing, not just Wordpress's), but man, when you get to know Wordpress, it has bad breath, bad gas problems, and its hair is matted with chronic clumps of crusty upchuck.<\/p>\n

So is the new version's WYSIWYG <\/strong>editor as barfolicious as the preview version? Well, let's try a few paragraphs here, a few bulleted lists there… Let's test this mofo out.<\/p>\n

Hmm, paragraphs seem fine. No problem there.<\/p>\n

Let's try a list:<\/p>\n

Ummm… wait a sec. Where are the list icons? How can I create a WYSIWYG list without WYSIWYG buttons??? I just see bold, italic, a spellchecker, and some weird icons.<\/p>\n

Hmm, after I click "Save and Continue Editing", I see all the HTML. And then the Visual tab stops working, so I can't get back to WYSIWYG mode. Argh.<\/p>\n

Well, so much for a vomit-free drinking session with Wordpress!<\/p>\n

—-<\/p>\n

Update: Other people have reported the disappearing Visual mode as well.<\/p>\n

—-<\/p>\n

Update: For some reason, it seems to be working now. I don't know why. All I did was open the error console and now I see not only the bold and italic buttons but also the list buttons. So while they are accessible, I might as well test 'em:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. item 1<\/li>\n
  2. item 2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • item 2.1<\/li>\n
    • item 2.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. supposed to be item 3. oh well, can't expect too much<\/li>\n
      2. supposed to be item 4<\/li>\n
      3. ok, i've have enough of this<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Well, that was so-so. Hmm… Okay I am seeing errors in the javascript console now.<\/p>\n

        They are just onBrowserKeyUp errors. Perfectly harmless. Like tipsy college chicks.<\/p>\n

        —-<\/p>\n

        Update: I just tried to edit this again, and got the missing Visual mode problem. This time, I see lots of genuine errors in the javascript console:<\/p>\n

                • etc. Lotsa these.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Very strange. This new Wordpress smells like bile.<\/p>\n

                  Update: I tried again, and this time shift-refreshed. Suddenly the icons came back. Hmmm. Could it be a caching issue?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
