Shalom! I’m trying a new theme here at WordPress.com:
NotesIL by Jordan Lewinsky and Automattic
Two Columns theme with different color schemes. Based on the original design of http://notes.co.il, built on top of the sandbox theme

PROs:
- Time/date stamp. I’ve set my timezone `manually` to UTC -8 (or Pacific Standard Time) via Dashboard > Settings > General. The purpose is to keep the `true` noon-time sun. Also, this gives the readers an idea on the time when my beautiful mind came up with each blog entry.
- Color selection. With a click of the button, there are 12 colors – brick red, black, royal blue, royal green, royal purple, dark gray, light blue, sea foam green, orange, periwinkle, olive green, and copper. I’m still playing around with the color scheme and noticed that the fonts change colors for certain color selction.
- Auto width: When I zoom in (Ctrl + plus), the two-columns automatically fit the screen resolution.
- CSS width: The `#container` width is 750px, which accommodates screen resolution set at 800 by 600 pixels.
- Left sidebar: I like how the blog title, tagline and sidebar line up on the left side.
- Tagline: Finally, a simple tagline appears under my blog title!
- Big fonts: The fonts are 12px and `Arial, san-serif`, my favorites! It’s easier to read, too!
- Background color: The background color for the content, sidebar and wrapper is one color – basic white! This makes reading less stressful on sensitive eyes.
CONs:
- The dark fonts for the tables against the darker `color selection` make reading the text impossible, except when highlighting the areas affected.
- I couldn’t find a particular blue color selection, which is between blue and green. Never mind!

Thanks, Jordon!
Here is a YouTube.com that reminds me a song we used to play in our guitar class during high school. I remembered last night and added it as my Favorite.
