i am just so fucking frustrated
yesterday evening when i hovered over my own art and wordpress suggests to edit it with AI
when it suggests generating images with AI
writing articles with AI
when i have to visit each individual “template” to add in a touch of CSS to fix the layout
when GSM breaks for the 36th time in the middle of fixing something up because the .htcaccess file was somehow rewritten and it needs to be regenerated
when i look at my sites and go, can i really not build this myself?
am i becoming more frustrated with using wordpress than i thought? it works awesome for my media menagerie blog. i have no complaints over there. but on my other two sites, it bothers me a lot. maybe i’m just in growing pains, maybe it’s just because i have some rando plugin in here that fuck things up.
what i SHOULD learn to do is edit the parts of the theme and just fuck it up, man, just fuck it uuup
i imagine my frustration stems from my slow exploration and flowering understanding of the indieweb and what COULD be done with web pages. i continue to find new things to incorporate and change while trying to keep my own flavor here. i find new things i can use and change and it’s… fun. i love it. but even though i am making all the image sand adjusting the code, i’m not really responsible for so much as just arranging pieces just right. is that… okay?
is it okay?
