Out of sheer friggin’ frustration, I’m trying another WordPress.com theme:
Regulus by Ben Gillbanks
A versatile two column theme complete with custom header, blues and yellows.
For the longest time, I wanted to try this theme but couldn’t get the feel. Now, I see there are many cool elements.
PROs:
- A link called `Top`, which is located at the bottom. It brings the reader back to the top of the weblog, basically.
- A Feed section for both Posts and Comments, located underneath the sidebar.
- Two-columns, one for content to the left and a right sidebar.
- Fixed-width for smaller screen resolutions.
- Custom colors. There are six colors. But I chose `Blend it in`, which looks more like light purple.
- Custom header. There is a choice between an uploaded image (730 by 140 pixels) or one of eight header. I chose `Electric Swirl` because the swirls and concentric circles remind me of orgone energy and a sun symbol, respectively.
- Top navigation bar. Tabs accommodate at least ten of my current parent pages.
- Search bar. It’s underneath the top navigation bar.
- Blog description is underneath the blog title and both are located to the right of the custom header.
- Sub-pages clearly shown to the right of the content element and above the sidebar.
CONs:
- Fonts appear too small as default for me. But using the ZOOM-IN feature of the web browser should help enlarge the small fonts for easier reading.
- No time stamp! Waaahhh!
