Still tweaking my weblog

Written by

20250121-2107. I’m not satisfied however many times I switch and edit my themes. I like light themes but the brightness hurts my eyeballs. I like dark themes but the color is too gloomy.

So I’m left with tweaking but the features are limited. I do miss designing with Elementor but those are for professionals.

My blog doesn’t get the views and visitors needed to make a dent in the internet or web blog sphere!

And that’s my problem: no amount of window dressing would make me pay that much for nothing.

Then again I wanna go back to Elementor Essentials upgrade at least.

But I can’t because two of my main project pages use the Nextpage and Table of Contents widgets.

And I don’t know codes! That’s for the backend and most users like me know only how to edit from the front end!

That’s all. End of ranting 2115 PST.

    Hello Flynn, the defaults and limitations of themes annoys me too.

    Dark themes are too gloomy and somewhat more difficult for me to read, I do like how the Twenty Fourteen theme used dark theme elements along with light theme elements.

    Twenty Twenty’s default background for the posts, not the header and footer, is a light brown (tan) color, at least it looks like that to me, which reduces some of the brightness.

    Twenty Twenty One’s default colors are solid color backgrounds, pastel colors, mostly.

    My ideal free theme would probably be a combination of the best elements of Twenty Eleven (layout & options), Twenty Fourteen (dark theme elements), and Twenty Twenty (font size except for headers being too big & a few more things).

      What I like about Twenty Twenty-Five are the eight style variations (besides the default) to change the look of the site. The current style variation color scheme that I’m using is called “Morning” and it looks like the fonts are “serif”. That’s all for now. It’s back to tweaking to find the ideal combination that you mentioned. Thanks for commenting, John Jr.

        That is something to like about Twenty Twenty Five, my favorite thing about Twenty Twenty Five is that it is the first default theme since Twenty Twenty One where my hotlinked images (which most images on my blog are) work.

        I wish that Twenty Twenty Five came with a proper built-in search like Twenty Twenty & Twenty Eleven et cetera, and I wish that the defaults did not need to be tweaked to have the basic options enabled that I am used to from past default themes.

        I need to do some more experimenting with Twenty Twenty Five one day.

        You are welcome and thank you for responding Flynn. 🙂
