77. The Cabbage and the Cooking-Pot

Nasruddin and his friends were sitting in the coffeehouse, boasting.

“I once grew a cucumber as long as my arm,” one man said.

“That’s nothing!” said another. “I once grew a watermelon as big as a sheep.”

“Ha!” said another. “I’ve got you both beat: I once grew a head of cabbage that was as large as an elephant.”

Then Nasruddin said, “Just yesterday I bought a cooking-pot as big as a polo field.”

“That’s ridiculous!” the men shouted at Nasruddin. “Why would anyone want a pot that big?”

“In order to cook that head of cabbage!” replied Nasruddin, smiling.

The problem that I have had using FileBird on WordPress has been resolved by FileBird Support and their ‘techs’. They have determined that it is not an Android, or touch screen, problem but rather is simply the devices that I’m using.

During the 4-5 days that it has taken them to arrive at that conclusion I have been searching for an alternative. Found it by activating the Media Library Organizer plugin that can give me the same folders that I had with FileBird, can include the same image files in those folders and I can select any of those images using the same devices that would not work with FileBird. I think Support got it wrong or they simply lied to me.

The downside to all this goodness is that I have to edit each image to get it into the Media Library Organizer. This will keep me busy for some time but I have made good progress. I expect to have all the images in their correct folders by the end of the weekend. I also found a couple of other issues that I need to get corrected.
