WP, where is the hang up?

I’ve probably spent about an hour trying to comment on people’s websites–my apologies to the people who missed out–and then, to top it all off, had half an hour trying to get back to my own blog!

I had three passwords turned down, one of them the one I just put in. Then I linked with a service I do have a strong connection with, and was turned down the minute I tried to input using them.

Of course it may not be the fault of the platform we all love, or why keep coming back?

I’ve written before about the immense chain of connections necessary to be able communicate in this manner. And that is not even considering things things like power supply, labor strikes and the weather.

Correct me anywhere where I go wrong listing the stages necessary to make blogging possible.

Me on my laptop or using my mobile > by way of Jetpack or WP classical > my internet link > signals to the nearest telecommunication tower > [I’m a bit hazy on the next step. Is it up to space to a communication satellite?] > to the next tower and hopping to where an undersea cable takes the signal to the next country?

Well, I can see I need to do a bit of research.

  1. I would not bother, it’s WordPress and contacting them won’t get you the answer and if you get one it’s often the wrong on. I’ve been on WordPress for 24 years and they are a broken mess. I’ve hear these complaints for months and will hear them again. They go away and later come back. The best that you can do is let people know it’s happening so they know and keep trying. WordPress does all of their programming changes live versus on a separate system that they cna change code on and test that the changes work. Instead it’s done live, they have no idea how it will affect the processes in place. Worse yet, the programming department does not communicate with the Happiness Engineers so when you contact them they are clueless to what you are talking about. I’ve been down this road many times. Once the Happiness Engineers hear about a problem it’s difficult for them to get answers for the programmming team about what is going on. I stopped getting angry and contacting them because I didn’t get straight answers and it became more frustrating. No good news here. 🙂

    1. I believe every word you’re saying. This is my second ‘go’ with WP. The first time was back in the dark ages and I soon switched to Blogger because it was easier. Had about ten years there and with Google+. When G+ was rolled up I came back here. Not a lot has changed. I think WP needs to start from scratch on a parallel site, iron out all the bugs and then re-embed us.
