Copied new blog layout

20250221-1732. Hah! And just like that: I’ve done it again and tweaked my weblog site to look pretty in pink! I’ve copied this “idea” from the new design of WordPress dot com News.

This time, I added back one of the available patterns made by designing EXPERTS called: “Starter Content Link in bio with profile, links and wide margins.”

This was originally a test pattern sporting yet another avatar that I designed on my premium upgrade at Canva dot com. The avatar is placed on the left column; while the text is on the right column.

That’s my top section. I couldn’t tell from my mobile device because the display is too small. From their most recent news article, I saw images showing the single top part and then three horizontal items, which I believe are the blog “posts”. Then I just visited their site moments ago and saw there are nine blog “posts” followed by “Show more button”.

Now for my bottom section, I stuck only the three most recent blog posts. I could have made it an even number of one dozen but that wouldn’t matter because nobody views and visits my blogs anyways. I might try nine posts since I set the columns at three.

I really should add more to highlight the “Content” of mostly blog posts; but I just don’t see the need since my the stats are pretty much glum. My stats are my own views and visits because I keep forgetting to test my site while still within my Dashboard instead of opening up a new webpage for viewing.

For both my Header and Footer, I added back my dark black background and cyan bluish gray text colors; because “that’s the way I like it”! The dark background color of the Details block acts like a “banner” and sets off the rest of the light white webpages or Content nicely.

Then I had to move the two Navigation menus for Projects and Testimonials from the Footer into the Header; because the drop-down/sub-menu features contained links to my precious pages that were too long.

By viewing the sub-menus, the otherwise dark black Footer expanded into an oblivion of light white background from outta nowhere!

So far I like my design until something else comes to mind.

That’s all. End of transmission 1751 PST. Edited 1816 PST.

    Hello Flynn,

    I read that WordPress.com News Blog post about the new design as well that night.

    It also got me to look at and try a few themes, yesterday, and led to me currently trying the Lovecraft theme again. 😀

      Oh that’s great John Jr! I will peep at your blog now to see if there’s anything new. I can’t make up my mind either. It’s just to keep busy. 😂

        We are stuck in a cycle. 😁

        Once again, I did not seem to have gotten a notification or email that you had replied to my comment, weird.

        Agh, this is mysterious! I don’t know what’s going on. I’ll probably have to investigate. I guess I should try to delete my “Business” upgrade and revert to regular free. But my site is stuck at some weird “wpcomstaging” address and NOT the normal WordPress. I dunno what to say other than that I probably disabled the email/newsletter feature.🤷🏻‍♀️

        I just unsubscribed and resubscribed to get posts and comments by email & notifications, from the WordPress.com Reader, hopefully that works.

        I just liked this comment and I’m testing this reply. Thanks for subscribing, John Jr! I saw the Jetpack app for iPhone notifications, too! Hopefully, you could see the results from your end.

        I guess that worked, I got a notification that you liked my post, and your reply is showing in the notification area finally. I guess whenever you adjust some things, it messes up subscriptions or something, that is weird. You are welcome and thank you Flynn.

        Uh, huh! Is that so? I don’t think so! That could be a reportable bug! I could that that theory of yours and start switching themes! But thanks for letting me know, John Jr!

        While I am now getting notifications of your replies, I am not getting the emails, but I do get emails of your likes on my comments; strange. 😀

        You are welcome Flynn.
