The latest development in this site and in my aspirations of being a DevOps specialist is the acquisition of a lifetime license for Divi (both the template and the builder app).  This comes on the tail of buying a used Alienware M18 R1 laptop so I’m gradually building out for the program I’ve set myself on.  I see the utility of Divi and while the learning curve is sort of lite there is a learning curve.  I find the AI page layout interesting but it can be hard to override the settings such as the header size in this post.  By the time you read this that might be addressed but it wasn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped.

I’ve researched it a bit and I think long term I’m probably going to invest the resources and time to learn the Bricks system for WordPress development.  This is in part because it uses some of the skills that are sort of built in on Divi.  The stuff you’d use on a regular site.  I do plan to continue use of WordPress but to step it up to a higher level.  Possibly to the highest level in fact.  I got Dive because the license was very reasonably priced and I figured it would not hurt to get familiar with it.  Bricks though is more advanced by all accounts so that’s the next step.  Divi was $200 on sales so far Bricks is $599 for the lifetime version.  I’m looking long-term so I want the lifetime licenses wherever possible.
