(Ecuador) Otavalo Market – Rabbits
Late last night as I was painting, I remembered we were approaching another Rabbit-Rabbit Day, and I visualized writing a post with a picture of a rabbit. (See Rabbit Rabbit May Day.)
While guests were sleeping, I painted this ginger in the breakfast room of Hotel Andino in Quito. (No, I did not drink four bottles of wine!)
Because I painted late, and because I get weary arguing with the WordPress ‘Improved’ Write-New-Post options, I selected slumber over writing this post. I was pleased, however, to participate in a poll that asks if you like the new editor or the classic one, which is now absent. Hop over to Graham with Hats and add your voice. ( There are four options: 73 % say they hate the new editor and it should be scrapped; 20% say they like the Classic; 10% want to be able to choose between the two options; zero votes for “like the new editor.”) He also gave me a link to get back to the Classic editor, which you will find in the comments.

Rabbit Rabbit! (Hacienda Guachala)
Morning arrived, and before I thought of Rabbit Rabbit Day, Debbie’s post (Rewired and Retired in Nicaragua) booted all whimsical ideas out of the picture. If you’ve been following the news about China building the Nicaragua Canal, you’ll understand why her post got my attention: New Regulations for Nicaragua: Mandarin Required
Now it’s time to wish you a happy Rabbit Rabbit day and month, and Happy Easter week as well. I am enjoying experiencing Holy Week in the Andes, quite different than on the Pacific coast. I will also be attending a wedding at lovely Hacienda Guachala on Saturday, so the images and stories are stacking up in the ‘to share’ folders!

My British friends tell me it only works if you say, “White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits”! I wonder if the French could be persuaded to change from pinning fish on people today, to pinning rabbits?
I know how frustrating WordPress can be, but I’m a little perplexed over the editor kerfluffle. I’ve never been thrown into the “new and improved” editor, and whether I’m composing or editing, the Classic comes up. Maybe I just should be very, very quiet about that. Perhaps they don’t realize all is well in my corner of the world. Shhhhhhh….
Happy travels, a blessed Holy Week, and enjoy the wedding!
re: Classic vs New— I was lucky with that as well until a few weeks ago.. now it won’t come up from any prompt, and twice yesterday i selected new post, and it took me to the new stats page. i dislike that page as well!
Pinning rabbits – that would be fun! Hmm, I can picture you writing a post about those customs.
Hmm. Did you drink two of then at least?
Happy, happy April 1st and Rabbit Rabbit Day! 🙂 I am still confused about the new editor because on my admin page, I still have the classic editor and don’t even know where to go to see the new editor. It sounds like I should count myself lucky. I sure hope the new editor doesn’t just pop up one day.
Enjoy the wedding! I love weddings!
All I see is the classic editor and I’m fine with that. Enjoy your travels and wedding, Lisa. 🙂 Maybe I should use my wine bottles for vases?? I like your painting.
Sounds like a fabulous Easter, Lisa 🙂 Enjoy!
I’ve had to switch to the phone editor while my laptop is awaiting repair or replacement. It has very reduced functions and I cannot find the things that let me design my page my usual way. It looks undone to me now. Thanks for sharing the editing work arounds.
The new WP truly is a disaster. Maybe I need to say how I Really Feel!!! I was ready to just give up blogging, as the new page is so cumbersome and stupid to use. It even published a blog that was just a draft!!!
A friend sent a link to put the old WP in my bookmarks, which allows me to just click on that and open to the old format. Thats the only reason I’m still using WP. And to those who remarked that they still only have the old editor, count yourselves LUCKY!!
At any rate Z, have a great time at the wedding, and I love the new painting. Well done.
I wonder how many others are so frustrated that they’re considering throwing in the towel… one doesn’t want to quarrel with a ‘tool’ == it’s not worth the negative energy, and its either replaced or smashed or abandoned.
I’m glad we’ve found ways back to Classic, and may it never be trashed completeley…. z
In case either of us are forced to give up WP, I don’t want to publish my e-mail address on a blog, but if you have direct contact with either BTG or Hugh, they have it. No matter what, I’d really like to stay in touch.
igualmente – same here, and we’re probably both on btg’s undertold story list… thanks!
Gorgeous rabbits. I forgot to say Rabbit Rabbit, so according to the link, it’s okay for me to say Tibbar, Tibbar. 🙂 Something else I could say to WordPress…. a pinch and punch for the first of the month, and no return to the new editor, please. It’s horrible. Happy Easter Z.
Lovely painting Lisa – Happy Easter to you and what a wonderful way to celebrate a wedding during the most holy weekend. Happy rabbit rabbit to you, those bunny rabbits in the basket – so sweet.
That basket of rabbits is too cute!! Happy Easter!!
So far so good with my WordPress old familiar editor or at least always being able to call it up. Seeing new stats though and do prefer the old look. Improvement can be a very subjective thing.
