is what greeted me this morning.

Doesn’t seem to matter which theme I use.  So it is unlikely to  be a css problem; the theme it happened with last night was is as is, out of the box.
What I’ll probably do, then, is (a) keep researching to find the problem, which seems to be wordpress-wide, and [...]

The 26th Annual West Indian Literature Conference, to be held at COB next week.
Can’t think why the College is keeping so quiet about it!
Earl Lovelace is going to be giving a fiction writing workshop, hello.
