Sorry, folks! I’m trying yet another free theme here at WordPress.com:
Solipsus by Tiffany Nguyen (Rikkye)
A black and brown two-column design with flowers, clouds and a sun.
Tags: two-columns, fixed-width, dark, rtl-language-support, left-sidebar, widgets, sticky-post
PROs:
- Header is closer to the top, unlike theme`Dusk`, which has a header that pushes my content and sidebars too low into the middle of the screen.
- Instead of dark blue color of the former, this latter is dark brown and black.
- It has a left sidebar unlike most other themes, which uses right sidebars.
- It also has flowers, one sun, one cloud and one frowning face.
- The date/time stamp, along with comments meta, is located underneath POST titles.
- No meta appears underneath PAGES.
- This theme features the < hr > element as a flowery design. Neat!
CONs:
- It’s dark but not too dark to hurt the eyes with contrasting, brightly-colored fonts.
- The letters appear too small but editing my paid CSS stylesheet upgrade helps to increase the font-size to 84% (via the `body` element).
- There is no custom header.
- There is no navigation bar with drop-down menu feature.
- There is no tagline: see reason below.
Since I still wanted to RETAIN the image of Dante’s Satan in Inferno and the brief welcome message to describe what to do with this weblog, I removed a parent`home` page, which had the same greeting as shown on the `text widget` (which is currently located uppermost left hand portion of the sidebar):
`God’s goal: be sunny life`. (This is my blog’s tagline).
Having a left sidebars means I could set my `Front page display` to latest posts instead of setting the `Front page` to `Home` and the `Post page` to `Archives`. My purpose is to allow a short introduction when viewing my weblog through the `front page` via a mobile, cellphone.
The sidebars may change as I continue to tweak the appearance of my IMPERFECT weblog site.
