CERTAIN EDITING SCREEN OPTIONS HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE CONTEMPT THEME
-
I use the CONTEMPT theme for my blog (www.calgough.wordpress.com) and usually have no problems. With my latest draft of a post, however, the UPDATE and the SAVE DRAFT and the PREVIEW options have disappeared! I am trying to edit a badly-formatted post (with photos), and cannot see the result of my experiments. I tried starting a new post draft, and the same thing happened: no UPDATE or SAVE DRAFT or PREVIEW buttons/options. Why?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

A recent trip to central California – San Francisco and a several-hundred-mile segment of the Pacific Coast south of there – was the second of two trips celebrating both my recent retirement from thirty years of libarianship and my 65th birthday. (The first celebratory trip was a ten-day stay in several cities in Mexico.)
The California excursion was a bit unusual for me:
The three-month interval between these two major vacations was a lot shorter than usual! (I wouldn’t object to this becomng a post-retirement pattern!)
It had been many (fifteen?) years since I’d last visited San Francisco, and even longer (forty years?) since I’d treated myself to the spectacular scenery along the Pacific coast highway.
Since there was no full-time job to rush back to, my California vacation could be – and was – gloriously longer than most of my previous out-of-state vacations.
The trip was really three consecutive – and distinctly different – adventures bookended by my round-trip plane ride:
a five-day sightseeing extravaganza in San Francisco (a city I lived in for almost a year many moons ago);
a four-day gay square dancing marathon, followed by another two days of sightseeing;
a week-long road trip down (and back up) the coast with a beloved friend who’s lived in San Francisco for the past 30 years.
Each of these adventures included delightful experiences and garnered lots of photographs that I’ll use to highlight some of the people I visited, things I did, and places I saw.Falling in Love Again with San Francisco
My Atlanta square-dancing pal Larry and I checked into the square-dancing convention hotel several days before the convention began so we could spend a few days exploring San Francisco. (Larry hadn’t been before, and I was determined to re-visit a long list of favorite haunts and see some places I never got around to seeing at all when I briefly lived there.)By the day we arrived, the city’s annual Gay Pride celebration was well underway, and we immersed ourselves in it in various ways, wading into the vast crowds milling around the park in front of City Hall the day before the parade, and, the following day, joining the throngs gawking at the festive (if interminable) Pride Parade.
We booked a two-day hop-on/hop-off double-decker tour bus ticket, and used the bus (and Cal his city bus/subway pass) to get ourselves to various widely-separated beauty spots that included:
Golden Gate Park, where I spent a lovely afternoon strolling around (and eating lunch at) the Japanese Tea Garden:

I spent another morning having breakfast near Washington Square Park, in North Beach, where I had worked when I lived in San Francisco, and then walking to the Park to watch several Chinese people doing Tai Chi (where, thirty years ago, I’d first glimpsed anyone doing Tai Chi, which was the original inspiration for my eventually deciding to learn that form of meditation myself)
and then climbing the hill to Coit Tower, which, although I passed it every day when I was working (in a series of temp employee positions) in San Francisco, I’d never been to see:
Later the same day, after treating me to the first in a series of wondeful meals (this one was bung me, a type of Vietnamese sandwich new to me), my friend Harvey devoted an afternoon chauffering me around various San Francisco neighborhoods (some of them familiar, many of them much changed since I lived there), and showing me various places he knew I specifically wanted to visit or re-visit – including
one of the city’s famous staircases (from which I’d realized, thirty years ago, how San Francisco is probably the most beautifully-situated city in the country):
the Presidio (until the Bill Clinton era, a military base always off-limits to civilians, despite its huge size and location at one end of the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Mason, an abandoned fort underneath the bridge-end, where Harve and I had a wonderful afternoon stroll and the first of our many long talks):
and my single favorite spot in the city, The Palace of Fine Arts (the remaining relic of a early-1900s world’s fair):
