1. I’ve decided to keep the Rounded theme by Ghyslain Armand because it has all the features I wanted:
- time/date stamp for both pages and posts
- category/tag fields to describe my posts
- navigation bar to draw attention to my five main pages
- graphics of rounded, flowers and muted colors of blue and brown
2. I’ve decided to make this theme from two columns into one column for the sake of people with screen resolutions of 800 by 600 pixels. My current screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. Based on other one-column themes, do the following:
- Set the width to 750px to the `body`, `content` and `menu`.
- Set the width to 100% for `sideitem`.
But I had a tough time with the `masthead` and `footer`. The `header` and `masthead` sticks out a bit on either side; while the sides to the `footer` didn’t line up with my bottom bar.
3. I’ve decided to add an scroll bar `overflow:scroll` to the `content` with a height of 625px. I wanted to add another scroll bar to the `menu` but that would take away visibility to the widgets below.
4. By making this current theme one column, I’ve accomplished the following:
- Retain visibility of a `Sticky post` entitled `Recent posts` to the front page with one scroll bar.
- Allow cellphone users quick access to five menu and recent posts below.
- Allow users better viewing with lower screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels.
But I had to set`’Blog pages show at most three posts` via `Reading Settings` under the `Dashboard`. This reduces the time scrolling and allows the reader the opportunity to click the `Next Page >>` selection located on the bottom left corner of the post entry `content`.
So there you have my temporary satisfaction. I’m trying to find a `permanent job` to get myself of THEIR hole until next month and this would allow me some distraction away from blogging and altering the appearance to my favorite weblog site: WordPress.COM.
