Okay, well, I’ve been bored again and customized the Colors & Backgrounds. As Madame Mews mentioned, she saw purplish, pinkish, and plum colors. This was made possible with the ‘Match header image’ color generator. I liked the colors.

However, I do recall John Jr mentioning something about the colors and Madame Mews preferring the darker fonts against the lighter background. Plus, I wanted to use the ‘official WordPress color palette’.

So I clicked the ‘default’ button to the Opti color scheme and customized the colors as follows, using symbolic combinations of ‘evil’ numerology:

• Text Color, Headings #000000 black
• Links #d54e21 blue
• Header, Footer #464646 gray
• Site Title, Site Description, Header/Footer Links #21759b orange
• Background #f6f6f6 white

I removed the background image due the consideration of faster loading and I reduced the sizes of the avatars found in the widgets. I’ll just let the header image featuring Nyan Cat provide the eye candy for Madame Mews.

This is the best I could do to compromise suggestions by three bully heads. Customization subject to change, of course. Sheesh.

Voila! I think Evil Kitty is happy with Flynn’s weblog. This time it’s full of pink and rainbow colors! And Nyan Cat makes her appearance!

Without the great suggestions by John Jr and Madame Mews, this freaking weblog would NOT have made it this far.

A few minutes ago, I barely recall what John Jr suggested about keeping the list to at least five items.

So for ‘Blog pages show at most 5 posts’ and ‘Syndication feeds show the most recent 5 items’, each are five items.

However, ‘For each article in a feed, show ‘Summary’, though John Jr suggested ‘Full text’.

As for the ‘Site Visibility’: Allow search engines to index this site. I would have preferred ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site’ or ‘I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose’.

The alignment of five post views with the left and right side bars is perfect from my laptop monitor. The four footer bars, too, are aligned perfectly, almost.

And so I’ll keep it for awhile as such until bored.

For the sake of Madame Mews and John Jr and the debacle with the inability to check-off the two boxes for comments and posts via email of The Rowling Theme, I’ve switched back to my purchased theme: Opti. But… this time, I used my brain! That’s correct!

I’ve added a suggested background image, which looks like stainglass with designs of a ‘crucifix’ (being that I’m ‘religious’) and which has the rainbow-colored effect (being that I respect the freaks, err, LQBTQI). I had to set that background image to ‘center’ and ‘repeat’.

Next, I’ve tweaked the colors. Once again, I’ve borrowed the WordPress ‘default’ colors of blue (for the ‘Text Color, Headings’), orange (for the ‘Links’), and black (for ‘Header, Footer’).

But I didn’t think. And until a few minutes ago, I discovered that I could have used PINK for the background color! Then after taking the default orange color, I stuck a darker orange for ‘Site Title, Site Description, Header/Footer Links’.

Then, I took an old Nyan Cat image (courtesy from Madame Mews) and placed that sucker into the Header Position of ‘Below Navigation (default)’, which looks better than ‘In Header’. AND the Theme Option allowed for Display Header Image on either in Homepage or All pages.

Voila! Now Evil Kitty is barely satisfied. Eh.
