petrea_mitchellIs up now. Anyone who was hoping that the pandemic might lead to a permanently slower pace that leaves animators less overworked, I have some unfortunate news for you.
I've decided to switch from posters to embedded trailers. The process for adding YouTube embeds to a WordPress post turns out to be simple, quick, and completely unintuitive. WordPress does recognized YouTube's own cut-and-paste embed HTML, but only to mockingly strip it all out when you save.
I also discovered too late that WordPress will only create a featureable image from your first successful embed, which is why the feature image wound up as Generic Anime Guy rather than something from one of the more interesting shows.
