I’m back on a free theme here at WordPress.com:
Sandbox 0.6.1 by Andy Skelton & Scott Allan Wallick
A theme with powerful, semantic CSS selectors and the ability to add new skins.
Tags: white, left-sidebar, theme-options, widgets, two-columns, one-column, three-columns, right-sidebar, flexible-width, microformats, rtl-language-support
The Current Skin is:
Three-Column Minimalist 1.0 by Scott Allan Wallick
Minimalist style with left and right-sidebars
The left sidebar is for archives of my weblog. The right sidebar is for the orgone, such as the Flickr.com group pool, links to vendors and recommended readings. The length for both sidebars are almost even. I had to increase the gravatar image of a small white flower against its green leaves to 128 pixels. This compensates for the shortened gap of the left sidebar.
The main colors to my paid CSS stylesheet upgrade are mostly gray and blue:
- Body and block quote #eee;
- Header #ddd;
- Content #fff;
- a: #006699; and
- a: hover #3399CC.
I had to remove the light blue to purplish background color to something more monotone like gray but lighter than dark. I didn’t want to present anymore weird symbolic weight to color coding for TPTB and thought that the gray tone would symbolize something more neutral, neither red nor purple.
The `Front page displays` has be set from [My] latest posts to:
- Front page: Home and
- Posts page: Archives.
I wanted to keep track of the many times people viewed that `front page` (aka `home page`) and if people would view the archives page of `Blog pages show at most`: 3 (three) posts instead of 15 (fifteen) posts, which I felt was too long to view at one page.
I pray that this would be the VERY last time I’d tweak the overall appearance of my WordPress.com weblog.
