For some bizarre reason my copy of WordPress insists on truncating the post I've just made to http://soreeyes.org/2019/09/a-tool-using-animal/. I will probably be experimenting with alternative themes and so on over the next few hours until I get to the bottom of this. The entire post shows up just fine in preview, but is horribly truncated once published. The content is in WordPress OK, but something about how the installed theme wants to present that post is screwed up.
This is the sort of thing that prompted me to switch to Jekyll a few years ago: the seductive ease of use a CMS like WordPress offers just makes the inevitable betrayal when something goes wrong all the more infuriating...
Normal service will be resumed at some point.
[Update: fixed! Looks like something about my using '...' carelessly upset my current theme. I may still spend some time today experimenting with different themes to see whether there's a decent workaround for this limitation.]
