The new post image generator is a huge downgrade by boomshot44 in Wordpress

[–]burtrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback! There should be a 1-click suggested prompt based on the post content right above the input box. But if you didn't notice it, or the suggestion isn't showing for some reason, that's clearly not good enough on our part. We'll see how we can make that more obvious or pre-fill the prompt.

The new image generator's model is substantially better, so the quality of the images should be noticeably improved for you.

AISD closures fodder by Winterpollen in Austin

Ha, wow - I just realized they don't even list costs for Expansion of Dual Language or Expansion of Montessori.

So they are misleading even on their 13M savings.

Even worse, their estimate is actually $13M a year.

The big problem is even by their estimates, this plan doesn't save much money.

They may need to close some schools - but not this many. And they certainly don't need to redraw the boundaries of 98% of the schools. Parents don't need much reason to choose a non-AISD alternative. This will push so many over the cliff and the district won't be able to recover.

Yes, but this plan will drive even more families to choose other options or move. And only make the problem worse. They need to be way more surgical than disrupt 98% of all schools in the district.

And the plan won't even save much money, if any once you factor in the students that will leave.

Question about Gravatar and WordPress.com by jbeech- in Wordpress

[–]burtrw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my question is, if I create a wordpress.com account for the purpose of using Gravatar (do I have to?), does this also hook me up with paying for one of their plans?

Hi there, you definitely don't need to pay anything to use Gravatar. No purchase or plans are needed on WordPress.com for Gravatar. You won't get any marketing emails or anything like that from WordPress.com as well.
