20250404-2333. Behold, my new and improved FRONT-COVER home page! I’ve combined two of my patterns and one new Cover image together and I like the display! I also borrowed “ideas” from TVC site and the presidential site and noticed both sites have lots of clutter, more so the former than the latter, respectively.
For my Front Page template, I had to Detach all my Patterns and remove redundant groups/hierarchies/layers/levels to ensure the system “speeds-up” the performance of my site.
The Header remains the same with three-columns: the Navigation block containing the Page List block; the Image block describing my site; and the Search block.
The Footer remains the same with the stack: the Image block describing my site; the Site Icon block; and a Paragraph of my Credit. I may include (again) the Navigation block for my Blogroll. But I noticed that my two sampled sites are supposed to focus mostly on internal links and promote external links of their own social media sites and NOT external links of “other” competitors. Just saying. Sorry.
There are only two main “content” Groups. One group is the Header where I set as a Sticky Position above the second group below. The only weird way to trigger how Header “sticks” above the Content “below” is to click away anywhere on the web browser and click back anywhere and just into the “outside” of my Content area!
The second group contains the following items: today’s newly created AI-generated image featuring a black cat writing at a desk and it paragraph modeling the Header greeting of a presidential site; my old chemtrails image, including its two Headers describing further what this site is all about and its Call-To-Action Button for the Posts Page; my old three Details blocks of Query Loop, Top Posts & Pages and Content Carousel; the Bento Grid (Kentwood) of Cover images and CTA buttons as the enhanced version of the Content Carousel of all my top level pages; and finally another Cover image with another Call-To-Action Button for the Reader Feed.
I have yet to refresh the Critical CSS and find out the expected lower levels for both the Desktop and Mobile scores. It’s 2350 PST and I just refreshed my Jetpack Boost and could see that the Mobile score level is 69; while the Desktop score is still as high as 95! I think at this point I was more concerned about my site’s performance and those who have slow internet connection over what I really wanted: more clutter and color!
Alas, I could go back to the eyeball blinding white-washed background color instead of the presidential dark blue color scheme to increase my Mobile Score. But I won’t because I’m burned-out/tired of tweaking my weblog site.
For now, I’m pleased with my FRONT-COVER Page, Cornerstone Page. End of transmission 2352 PST. Edited for clarity on 20250405-0003 and 20250405-1032.
