20250127-1914. I had my OLD Read Blog page set to Private mode after discovering an OLD Elementor page that was created back in January 12 of this year. I believe that was when I “came back” to try my hands/paws at redesigning my defunct weblog site! But I refunded this first “trial” outta frustration because I didn’t know what I was doing.
But for whatever reason, I already had enough practice with the Gutenberg blocks. But I just simply forgot how the “concept” is the same and the layout or feel of their “dashboard” is similar, only instead of Groups for blocks, it’s Containers or Grids!
So after signing up again on the 24th or three days ago, I was just getting warmed-up. I spent the first day and an all-nighter just to get the first two pages out. By the second day, I was still tweaking the first two pages and then barely completed the third page. Today, the third day, I did it again!
I tweaked my weblog site to my heart’s content. I have studied my OLD posts and pages and was wondering how everything is still tied-in together. And then something inside me clicked! I wanted to set my OLD precious archived pages (which I still have in .xml format) to Private mode.
These pages are just duplicates, nay, triplicates of my projects of three pages. And so I did just that: worked on the OLD Elementor page and converted/reworked that page as my new READ BLOG page. (So that I could “preserve” or at least set the original page to Private mode).
For my new READ BLOG page, I got it hands down, except I couldn’t figure out how to keep the left and right sidebars “sticky”. I queried LEO AI and the search results didn’t work out for me. But at least I got the general layout of three-columns to look like Twatter/X!
I learned how to use the Responsive feature to “Hide” the left and right sidebars (Containers) for both tablet and mobile view. I hope to learn more from my Essential Pro upgrade. There is just too many ways to make a functioning weblog site prettier than normal; despite NOT having lots of views and visitors.
I just like coloring. And one way of getting outta a systemic rut of being locked-down, shut-in and basically insulated from the rest of the world, I’m trying web designing. But that would mean hard-core coding. I do NOT know coding. I just like to click and drop/drag my blocks/widgets to create a structure for my site.
That’s all. End of status report 1928. Just now my elderly father came downstairs and made the usual triple tweeting birb sound that it’s time to eat our late supper! Now he’s yakking about politics and/or sports. Gosh darnit!
