20250118-2245. Behold! I have designed a “taller” header I’ve sampled the webpages of two of my website builders and one web browser and came up with the narrow top row followed by a taller bottom row.

For the narrow top row, I could only place the Site Icon on the left and the Main Menu on the far right.

For the taller bottom row, I “modeled” the left column to include a catchy/large title followed by a few words in smaller fonts describing what I believe is called a “call-to-action” or CTA and by a fat button to Read Blogs, which is the main reason for over-doing and re-doing the “window dressing” of my weblog site!

With the taller bottom row, I was able to use one of the Site Icons by the Jetpack AI Logo Generator as “Cover” image. Then I placed two more taglines in the middle. The taglines describe how Flynn rants; while her Evil Kitty uses her “paws” to encourage the blogger to calm down.

After I published my new lighter header, I noticed that there are Conditions to Exclude Archive and Singular pages/posts from inheriting this lighter header for the Entire Site. I had to re-create my lost/missing brownish poo-poo and dark/black header; because I didn’t know that I could save my word as template!

I was just saving each “Container” or “Grid” as a template. So I’ve learned three more stuff with enough patience. I’d like to keep my Elementor Pro Advanced Solo plan or just try forcing what I’ve learned onto the Gutenberg blocks.

But I’ll never be truly happy – until tonight. I really liked the latest/newly created taller header section, which looked normal and professional enough. Then by scrolling down a bit, the old brownish poo-poo stuff is still intact, especially the duplicate greeting.

That’s all for now until for whatever odd/strange reasons, I’ll happen to come up with some more borrowed/stolen layouts – just to keep busy. End of status report 2305 PST.

20240118-1737. Well this morning the morning smelled like aerosol or chemtrails for you you conspiracy theorists or rather keen observers or firsthand witness of pure evil and the like.

It’s a good thing that I close my bedroom window at night so as not to inhale the cooties is that these pure evil or devils are spraying above our heads at my while we sleep.

Then again the California voters elected for clean air and clean water and the vector spray spraying to control mosquitoes.

I’m wondering if mosquitoes thrive during a colder climate especially winter time around this month.

During lunch earlier today, I told my elderly father that our cameras are going off-line and that we have poor Internet connections and asa really we have to restart constantly the egg-shaped router several times a day!

Also noted for today the temperature is freezing, and a feeling of the cold blasts can be felt through the bones.

Once again, these little inconveniences which are annoying and irritating or leading up to the upcoming inauguration of the third term president.

So I’m wondering, are we going to celebrate the inauguration next Monday being a federal holiday to a black guy?

Is this the symbolic narratives that happen to coincide with a holiday and a black guy who was unalived for being a loudmouth and the third term president who might get a third attempt at being unalived?

Is it true that JD Val won’t be attending next Monday’s inauguration? Is it true that the inauguration would be held indoors? I’m not really following the narratives.

Since I’m kind of and sort of part of the narrative and hopefully not necessarily part of the problem with sketchy materials by not booting too much about my incoming thoughts for mainstream news media outlets, I know these political narratives or stories or scripts don’t really come as a surprise to me.

That’s all. End of status report. 1752 PM.

20250118-1158. This is my rant regarding restarting our router countless times since chatting with John Jr on/about the 10th AND since I purchased the basic Elementor Essential on/about the 12th and then the Pro – Advanced Solo upgrade on/about the 13th – to which I enjoyed messing up my website designs!

But along the way, I learned the various features (thought VERY frustrated at times as to why the Containers/Grids do NOT click/drag easily but instead Copy/Paste VERY well and built a website that I kinda sorta like (for now) until I change my mind (as always)! I’ll stick with the brownish poo-poo and dark/black color theme.

Now, two days ago – on/about 1829 PST, our electric power switched off and on momentarily that lasted one second or so. My portable battery was active/live for both my primary computer in the master bedroom and another battery located in the garage supported one NVR and one outdoor camera. The other “useless” cameras are at the mercy of the elements and electrical outages.

For one week, our internet connection has been acting up. This was on/about the time that a POS drunkard living in the corner house off the Rue trigger my outdoor cameras and illegally dumped his white plastic bag containing items, such as plastic bag of fish and other blue liners.

I reported the incident to the city customer service portal at 311 dot sanjoseca dot gov, using the property owner’s login account. The incident occurred on the same day of the weekly garbage pickup! And so the report was closed due to illegal dumping was NOT located. Idiots.

Per usual, I submitted my customer service feedback and mentioned the failure of team RAPID, which responds within five business days. I told them THEY should be available 24/7? See? While these bloated government workers get lots for doing nothing, crimes are being committed!

My report included two video footages to NO avail. But CommieFornication allowed PURE EVIL to exist here, thanks to liberals and their blue-balled state of affairs. I commented that “we fear that this is a hate crime against us.” If THEY know what that means, THEY are on the side of criminals. See?

On/about 1148 PST a few minutes ago today and while I was still blogging this post, I got a red-colored banner located above this post: “Updating failed. You are probably offline.” Now that means THEY are really trying to annoy/irritate unto moi. See? Like I said, THEY get to giggle at our expense – having to pay monthly for “premium” services. And this is what THEY do to us: it’s a hate crime.

Like I said, for the past week, we had to keep restarting the egg-shaped router due to at least one out cameras would be offline. Now per complains from customers on several forums online, THEY claims its the cameras always going offline. I believe it’s the routers, too and NOT so much poor reception/signals from directional locations, meaning the wireless cameras are NOT facing or as nearby to the routers as necessary.

This brings to my small thoughts about those electric vehicles and how customer service could de/activate remotely the “kill switch” for rouge electric vehicles, which for example kept turning around and around at the airport parking lot where a black guy was trapped until the customer service stopped remotely the rouge EV/car.

This incident also occurred when the crazy POS drunkard guy who illegally dumped his trash into our black garbage last cart last Friday at 0200 PST in the morning. These are the kinds of crazy POS that has been inserted into my suburban neighbor-hood besides the crazy POS NextDoor neighbor and others that I have reported.

I know how that these politicians are one of THEM per a Live stream chatting with our local neighbors and four Council members about our traffic flow on MY long stretch of Road. Listening and watching THEM Live stream is like television in which I noticed subtle responses/almost instantaneous laughters/smiles to my emotions/thoughts AND on-demand!

It’s MORE than living in a matrix-like movie grid of “They Live”.

So I-AM NOT too happy these demonic, evil spirits are allowed their insertion points in and around my neighborhood!

I told my elderly father that should something ever happens to the point where we forced to move outta this OLD paid-off single residence house, I want AllFather to flood every bit of stench that was allowed to exist in the first place.

Being close to the locales of Sodom and Gomorrah, the event of the BIG ONE is way long and overdue!

Also, this morning I took photos of more illegal dumping and reported the incident to our city customer service portal at 311 dot sanjoseca dot gov, using the property owner’s login credentials online. I set every and all of my reported incidences for public viewing.

If the forces of darkness and PURE EVIL do NOT really care if everyone knows, then on this ‘knowing’ – I too refuse to hide after all these years of trying to mind my own business by AND I will reference these incidences on my other social media accounts online for others to take note.

End of rant 1243 PST.

20250118-1156. I had to copy and paste the following off-topic rant due to spotty internet connections since chatting with John Jr. Just sayin.

[Off-topic rant: I figured that should I ever go into business to sell nice stuff, then I would need to know at least how to design and run a website. But I doubt such endeavors would ever happen as I do NOT wanna add more headaches from something that a bunch of debtors/haters who failed and lied unto unto moi since meeting THEM in-person back in July 2000.]

I say this (as I have already mentioned in my previous blog post) that my weblog does NOT and did NOT garner enough views and visits because I used to blog until the OLD guy reminded me about somethings, then I got pissed-off at that truth and then I Deleted my Account Permanently, only to come back years later here but while blogging over at Twatter until that changed into Hexed.

So while I was interested in sharing my personal stuff, I am restrained by others and by my own self-censoring. But that’s another off-topic rant. Yeah, I think I’ll change my Site Tagline again.

That’s all. End rant 20250118-1156 PST.

20250118-0958. Hi! I’m still tweaking my theme Hello Elementor. I like and will probably keep the AI-generated brownish poo-poo and dark/black color theme for both the header and footer.

For the content, I guess the white background and black text help those who are vision-impaired. I probably have to go into the Site Parts and edit all Site Parts to the background-color to dark/black.

I’m still wondering if I’ll get a 30-day refund as requested since yesterday and if NOT then it’s okay! Because I’m getting the hang of designing my stuff. But like I said, I am NOT a “pro”.

What I like about going “PRO” or upgrading my plan is being able to “play around with” the draft mode and features, such as “built-in” drop-down menus that I can-NOT find or did NOT know with my primary site builder over at WordPress.

Yesterday, I liked how there is an “audit” to point out the slow “speed” for mobile users and saw lots of lag times from the Global Site Settings, such as Lightbox and Page Transition. Both features are good for businesses but I reverted both features back to their Default settings.

Yesterday, I also had to Deactivate the image optimizer plug-in, which slowed down tremendously my workflow, which was probably further hampered due to my VPN web browser settings. So I assumed that two site-builders/companies might be conflicting with each other.

That’s all for now. I got distracted with eating naval orange for breakfast with my elderly father, deactivating/deleting more plugins, blocking unwanted subscribers, editing my settings, and ranting in a separate blog entry.

End status report 1128 PST. Edited spotty internet connection by THEM for past week since chatting with John Jr. Publishing this delayed post 20250118-1155 PST.

This is quite distracting. I’m blogging while driving and the guy on my ride was trying to reverse from inside the parking lot and there’s a guy on my left waiting to clean the space that the guy was trying to back out of that so this is interesting. I’m blocking while driving and so now I’m exiting this parking garage have to be careful and look left and right. Make sure it was clear pedestrian and then look left and right to make sure it has Streets or roads are clear of the vehicles passing now I’m making another after look through my I’ve been right, so this is rather interesting to be able to blog while driving. I wouldn’t recommend it. Don’t try this if you don’t have to because I have my hearing aid on I’m able to do something now. I’m stopped at this street light section. It’s clear Look listen and then proceeded carefully while driving on the road and so now stuck behind this other vehicle waiting to make my left turn up ahead at the next street line intersection which is now yellow now end up stopping I’m waiting a few minutes.

Early today I decided to go ahead and take off from home. Tell my dad that get x-ray on my right foot so couple of months ago I don’t recall having an addiction with the electronic device so while using the toilet one day, use the Apple tablet and then I have that tablet sitting on the shelf in front of me. I was hanging a little bit over the shelf and I wasn’t paying attention. I got distracted look away, went around my business that I mock the tablet off the shelf and then the tablet hit the top of my right foot. The pain was initial. There was no shock only after 24 hours the pain there I felt it I saw the bruising on my foot. I guess the bruising was more parent on the big toe and the middle or the index in middle toes, the tablet hit a vein on top of the vein so there was a leakage maybe a week no blood or a sign of broken skin and so yesterday I have a regular doctors check out and you’re in the office visit like complaining about that incident and so she’s just to make sure there is no fracture in the foot. She ordered x-rays. There are three reviews for the x-rays so after one hour of waiting, I got my x-ray done, but my initial check-in wasn’t good because the clinic then forward the order to their computer system when I first visited the front desk oh, you’re not better so I did that wait 15 minutes then I checked in the second time. Wait another 30 minutes in less than five minutes. The actual x-ray procedure was completed so if you guys can streamline the wait time that would be better. The chairs in the waiting room are horrible. Hurts the back so I had to stand up for the remaining five minutes of before. I went to get my x-rays done so I’m still traveling and driving While blogging. I’m using the microphone of my iPhone to dictate my blogging entry. I may do this more often because it’s easier on the fingers and I noticed my fingers having a hard time getting the right words in to text or dictating by voice through the microphone the iPhone is much easier and I can get more words in faster than having my thoughts entered through my thick, thumbs so now I’m trying to pass this next street line in a section which is gone. I’m following this Mustang, which is the more modern models and then I’m exiting off of I 880 which is the freeway going northbound towards home and now it looks like we’re at the meter ramp. We’re supposed to stop one car per green light stop here on Reddit. That’s what we’re doing and where we’re going so now I’m gonna speed up get on the freeway gonna drive back because the faster vehicles are not that courteous signal my intention get into the slow lane, which is the first lane of the main freeway, and then watch out for vehicles, maintaining my speed, allowing distance in front of me and now I hit the traffic because it’s already 2:31 PM my local time barely able to pass the exit for the APP center PayPal park offramp it’s a short drive because it’s local. I don’t wanna go more than 15 minutes beyond my primary Residence, which is a single home for single folks like me now over the bridge to my right looks like electrical power plant from the looks of the towers or poles hidden by Natus trees. We used to have two elective eucalyptus tree down because we got tired of sweeping up the seeds from the eucalyptus trees And so now I’m passing the Coleman Avenue exit number three Minetta, San Jose, International Airport, and headed to the next exit called first Street 3/4 of miles ahead of me exit 4 a would be that next board is green colored with the text White.

so I’m trying with approximately 20 mph or 40 km/h if you’re into the metric system, I’m stuck in traffic barely making my way homeward or homebound following a truck passing under the bridge getting closer to my exit. Looks like to my right area, where the VTA bar Light rail trains are parked their electrical power through the cables look like attachment would be on the top of those trains running on the cable electrical exit counting truck slow down exit right in front of it now 55 mph and then slow down because I’m coming to southbound 101 which I’m not going to exit Straight here sign my attention to the rice. I also want to squeeze to the left head to 101 in front of me to to the left and then wait for the street line to turn green.

I’m waiting for behind a dual motor Tesla dark gray color and now the street light turned green so we’re going to stop again because this is such a long exit

From our green for gold, but I’m gonna scoot right into the squeeze in here make a wide turn and I’m usually people wanna make a right so I give a gap in front of me because I’m so used to it my hood I should know a little bit I don’t know talk to people. I don’t know them. They don’t know me. I just kind of memorize the potholes to avoid the pothole while driving. I don’t want to turn on neck just to make sure the pedestrian crossing my path then I can speed where I’m supposed to speed up slow down where I’m supposed to slow down. I’ve been courteous at all times as possible red cross maroon color avoid to the right that’s already 1440 PM my local time Rounding the role of the pick pools health service out of a truck does man up to the corner the recycler plant left there are two left. I think somewhere straight ahead. They wanted to turn that place into a recreational vehicle park. I don’t know what happened to that deal to the flea market in the front area now towards the back or the less popular less congested road or truckers usually come and go right here or see 123 trucks already we’re talking big rigs liquid hauling materials turn oh look at the recycler on this one clip perfect perfect. He cleared the corner now we’re headed left billboard signs recycling center entrance radius recycling 11663. Another establishment with Barbara for defense. I look like homeless in Kaman nearby so I’m gonna make a left lane turn right by Tesla truck go along with it.

The platform urban apartments now leasing out with a bunch of trees are still young because they’re short electrical bikes, nearby outdoor mail area. It looks like my favorite life show video guys gonna stream live any moment now and then I’m rounding the corner. Headed back home it’s already 4:43 PM Hazel my left is the back part of the San Jose municipal golf course to my right residences and then head this first speed bump 14:44 PM 25 mph 50 mph and then the speed bump will clear right now 14 4441 minutes on my long stretch road headed north eastbound getting ready to use my remote control door for our two door car garage waiting at the stoplight the railroad intersection the railroad is underground not above ground at our street level for Camara. Those are my ideas. Thank you that San Jose city council members And I know who installed those because I used to work with them. Two Russian brothers owners roofing construction PG&E is completed for today going to the left of our car at 14:46 PM 32 driver side park.

20260618-115905 AM PT. I’ve decided to publish this unedited draft. I recall barely if I dictated this particular blog post and or added the edits later on. That’s all. Enjoy reading. Thanks!

20250117-0958. Yeah, so I’m still playing around with the Elementor Essentials and/or Solo Pro or whatever and I got sick and tired of trying to perfect the ideal appearance and layout of my weblog site! That’s my behavior: never truly happy or satisfied.

I’ve sample more websites and borrowed/stole the color schemes using the handy/dandy Digital Color Meter app. Then I used the RGB to HEX converter for each color schemes and then sampled some blues and pinks. But it felt too “fruity” and gay.

So I’ve opted to keep the AI generated color scheme of poo-poo brown Negro, err, N, err, black, which does NOT hurt the eyeballs. I may change the footer background-color from poo-poo brown to basic black, which nobody could ever go back.

That’s all. I requested a refund which is supposed to be within the 30-day period or whatever. I liked the “default” pink and black theme Hello Elementor and I might just keep that and then due to my constant dissatisfaction, I’ll keep switching themes from WordPress.

That’s all. I love colors and designs. But I can’t “feel” it: nothing seems to “stick” after all these years of blogging. Does this make sense? I guess NOT. It’s just a blog FFS, err, for crying out loud! Nobody really views or visits, NOT unless THEY got nothing better/else to do like me!

End status report 1005 PST.

20250116-0030. See? I’ve done it again! This time I combined side-by-side/two columns: Recent Posts and Recent Comments. The balance is logical because both Title starts with the word “Recent”!

Then through my closing eyelids, I got an imagery or inspiration to add the share buttons way on the bottom of the column but above the footer area where the subscribe email widget is located! The closer location is works out for both widgets!

While I was listening to the part leading up to the crucifixion of my KJV audio book, I was already passing-out from eating too much steamed white rice for our late supper! But I was able to fulfill my incoming thoughts!

Next, I added a juicy widget called Animated Headlines! I knew exactly where to place this widget and made my Hero container more presentable and beautiful, in my personal opinion, of course, since this is my personal blog!

I do NOT know what else to add to my Front-homepage. I know the Post Title is showing up and it should NOT be displayed. But my weblog pages are just to demonstrate and show that I could “design” something and make it work!

I know I’ll continue adding and editing my weblog and I’m far from being truly satisfied; since the front-homepage really should be the posts-page where the content is fully exposed and not presented partially as are excerpts.

That’s all for now. End of status report 0013 PST.

20250115-2236. Welp, I’ve done it again! I’ve tweaked my weblog again. After I created a new menu for my 66 KJV bible books in alphabetically order, I’d added a third footer! That’s correct! Now my footer is getting taller and more cluttered!

It looks like there is a wide open space on the lower left hand corner of my footer. And if I could squeeze all my external/internal links together, that would make for much cozier and tidier footer!

For now I had no choice but to copy and past each Footer container and just stack and squeeze as many items that I could think of/come up with. But for now this is all I have.

That’s all. End of status report 2241 PST.

20250115-2153. Behold! I have tweaked my footer again! This time I added the Subscribe to Blog via Email widget on the top row and to the right of my external/internal links!

When I viewed my front-homepage, I was astounded to see the balance between this widget on the top right row the Search widget on the bottom left row! The plain white background color felt normal or emphasize the “professionalism”, too, I guess.

I’m thinking to myself that this looks more professional. But I’ll have to sample more websites and adjust my front-homepage to remove duplications, such as the Subscribe widget.

I am feeling more comfortable working with Padding. I found that adjusting the Padding works well for the strange off-centered design of the Search (Jetpack) bar widget. The Search (Elementor) bar widget was nicer, more balance, and wider but too fat.

However, my feeling is rather constrained as is reflected in the way I “design” my weblog site. I just had a thought about how and why these two Search bar widget appear TOO huge!

I noticed that more websites are wider and taller and more colorful. So that could mean the more traditional and conservative version of clean lines and more straightforward themes that do NOT distract but focus on simplicity is going away.

Well, I’m tired of striving for perfecting. But I did see small gray vertical lines from copying and pasting or Duplicating a Container with the designer’s strange Padding settings, which gave the Search bar widget a strange off-balance and off-center presentation.

Perhaps, I need to add more curves, radial effects and animations, too! And I could break outta the mold of conventional no-nonsense, boring monotone themes. Nay, I still have my rainbow site icon to use somewhere in my blog.

There is lots of room to keep going and further tweak my weblog site to my preferred perfection.

End of status report 2207 PST.

20250115-1954. Lo and behold! I fixed my footer again! This time it is the cleanest ever! There are only two rows! The top row is for my external/internal links! The bottom row is for my Search bar and Credit!

But I don’t like the background-color. So I’m gonna fix that later after preparing/eating our late supper again.

My elderly father would make a modified “time to eat” sound like a birdie tweeting! Time to eat (Tweet!) eat (Tweet!) eat (Tweet!). This is an indicator that he is really hungry.

That’s all. Gotta go and feed the birb! End of status report 1957 PST!

20250115-1249. Welp, I had to tweak my header again! I tried four elements that I wanted: Site Title, Site Icon, Button and Search. However, the Search (there are two designs) is too long! So the header now has the choicest elements (sans Search, which I plugged into my footer earlier this morning).

This time, instead of the failed layout using Container, I somewhat “learned” and used successfully the layout Grid, which I set at One Row and Three Columns for both Desktop and Tablet modes, but One Row and One Column for the Mobile mode! The “default” elements are set to HUGE and maybe that’s for and in consideration of the ADA compliance.

So I try NOT to adjust or edit the “default” too much and kept “testing” the “switches” of different features to study how each design features affects each element and its responsiveness. When I signed up for a Solo Pro plan, I was already frustrated after my prolific commenter mentioned something about ADA compliance.

I downloaded and tried a plugin but that plan is expensive and REALLY meant for businesses and NOT for single bloggers like me, who just wanna try designing weblog sits. I love how the user could select accessibilities/functionalities for their “pre-existing conditions”. So with that said, I’ll keep my HUGE fonts and be mindful of those with reading and other disabilities.

While trying to perfect and beautify my header and during my initial use of my new Solo Pro plan, I forgot COMPLETELY to view the three different modes (Desktop, Tablet and Mobile) and make adjusts specifically for each view modes! I also was stuck during the whole process. But I had to be patient with myself despite the Contact Support team was available.

I’ve learned NOT to rely on anybody/anyone because my expectations and “visions” would NEVER be fulfilled at the shortest span of time due to my impatience to get things done; so I could do other things in life, such as exercise, blog and take naps, too! So the long process was learning how the features functions and making my weblog site beautiful.

That’s all. End of status report 1304 PST.
