20250212-2238. Greetings, chumps! It’s raining tonight and I love the rain, too!
Anyway, I’m pleased to announce that my weblog site looks awesome, in my opinion. The layout has three columns from theme 2024 with two skinny columns for both the left and right, I guess as placeholders.
I then had to figure out how to make the left sidebar column disappear for the Mobile view. And before and during our late supper tonight, I had one of those incoming thoughts of inspiration. I combined the Page List block within a Navigation block, which I set to collapse during Mobile view instead of either Off to keep the Overlay menu visible or the opposite which is to Always keep the Overlay menu invisible.
After figuring out the details for the left sidebar column, my recent blog posts/latest posts is where I want in: in the middle column! That leaves the right sidebar column, which contains two groups of external links. I borrowed/copied the layout from my alternate blogging/ranting planform over at Twatter/Hexed!
That was the top section of the “front page”. The bottom section contains all my favorite WordPress blocks or widgets for “Archives” in a particular order as follows: Archives and Calendar by month, Categories List and its Tag Clouds and Blog stats which currently shows an ominous numerical value of 3,666!
No, seriously, this is the kinda/sorta crapload that keeps me fighting in this spiritual battle as I mentioned in my OLD deleted blog entries about encountering such daily occurrences by vehicular license plate numbers, current clock/watch times and other syncs too numerous to mention.
As for the Header above, I stream-lined the clutter to just the Site Title and a Paragraph, both of which I borrowed/copied from the Blogger dot com platform. I used to prefer having Navigation menus and at least the Search button or bar somewhere towards to top.
But now the clutter landed in the Footer below, where I have more external links duplicated from the right sidebar column and internal page links, too! The same Site Title from the Header in located in the footer, including its Tagline and the new Search Magnifying Glass from theme Timestream.
I believe/think the current theme Blank Canvas will have to “stick” because it’s hard-coding handles/suits my preferences for width and huge fonts/text.
I’ve kept the background basic light white and the fonts dark black. Once again, this color combination should help those with vision impairments.
That’s all for now. End status report 2258 PST.
