Navigating the New Blog Theme
I’m actually not navigating my new blog theme; I’m charging around it like a bull in a china shop. The only help I can easily access is the AI Assistant, who gave up after an hour or so. Supposedly, I’ll get a human assistant, but there’s no guarantee when that will happen. Until then, I’m…
