Manual shipping of small packages through a NZ Post Shop has become significantly more costly with increasing prices and the introduction of a much more complex and time consuming customs form.

The problem: As of WordPress V5.0 they have inflicted the block editor onto us. I suspect this is a very bad attempt at a sort of year-1 finger-painting for web page creation. It may suit one page school projects quite well for anyone who has grown up with cellphones and […]
