current conclusion

This will be tolerable for now.  At least I don't have to refresh 5 or 6 times before I can get enough of the fields to appear that I can post something.

This doesn't look very elegant, though, so I'll still be looking for another solution.

test entry

Wordpress has consistently given me grief every time I attempt to post.  I don't know what the problem is, but it seems I cannot easily resolve it.  I see no reason to continue torturing myself with it.  This is an experiment.
