20250111-1620. So last night and way into the whole of early morning, I kept tweaking theme Brute. Now I’m trying out the four different colors: black, charcoal, cement and marble. I tried marble and then cement. But when I tried black and charcoal, I had to edit the Duotone each time because one image wouldn’t self-adjust to these two different colors.

I added a Jump Link to my Footer because my Front page (homepage) is quite long and so by clicking the “link” labeled “To the top” just like theme Twenty Twenty by the WordPress team, scrolling all the way back up from the Footer way down below is easier by NOT as fast as pressing the “Home” button on any regular computer keyboard.

I think that’s all for now. End status report 1625 PST.

20230531-1316.Still tweaking my static pages. But while tweaking I discovered an artist that I liked!

I like this new artist Powerwolf and added all their albums to my Library of music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/interludium-deluxe-version/1656306559.

One of their song is Interludium (Deluxe Version) which has some latin words. I just like the powerful sound and the rapid tempo. The fast tempo gets my heart racing.

That’s just as good as drinking my DARK roasted whole been coffee which I grind fresh and use a French Press to percolate the stuff and served BLACK, meaning without cream and sugar.

End of blogging. 20230531-1318.

20230524-1310. Behold! I just finished tweaking my blog site! I like this cleaner version. Since I told our favorite podcaster that I’m NOT into that “dark” stuff, this light appearance is probably easier for those with bad eyesight.

The front/home page has only the three most recent posts or latest blogs, my randomizer verses button for the King James Bible, and my three OLD sites!

For my three OLD sites, I used the “Table of Contents block” and so I was able to consolidate the tons of pages for each site. The other two sites have most of my static pages, except a few pages such as the faqs page.

I was too lazy to edit the OLD dead links. And so I wouldn’t bother clicking on those links.

The KJV bible project will have the thousands of pages published. I couldn’t knock out the tons of pages for the random KJV verses generator.

I could always switch back my theme so I could view the colorful version. This morning’s project was completed in about a couple of hours.

This small project was made possible after I read yesterday’s news feed and changed my theme from the Twenty Twenty-Three theme to the Hey theme, world: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2023/05/23/hot-off-the-press-new-wordpress-com-themes-for-may-2023/

20230514-0054. I’ve been having fun tweaking my site again while listening AND singing along to some Christian songs on the Apple Music app. For the more familiar songs, I would enter a “Love”. Oh, I cried on one song: Shepherd Me, Oh God (Psalm 23). The lyrics were VERY meaningful especially with the soothing music, instruments, and vocals/chorus!

Anyways, I kinda/sorta finally “fixed” the div.wp-block-button for the a:active but I could NOT figure out how or why the background-image did NOT show up. So when I hold down as if to click-and-drag the button labeled “Random KJV Verse”, I could see the background-image would change temporarily to aqua-green color! The a:hover background-image is dark-purple color; while the a:link background-image is light-purple color!

So while it’s NOT perfect at least I finished my “random KJV verse generator”. There were 252 verses that had the old versions and so I deleted the extra lines one-by-one. Then I cleaned up another 6 verse that had two or double semi-colors next to each other.

I also fixed the pre-designed (Pattern) header from the “Centered Align Header” – I love balance and stuff centered and facing forward smack down the middle – to the “Header with Button”; so that I could make my “random KJV verse generator” work out! I was determined to finalized the look and feel of my blog, which I’ve set to my favorite “Pitch” style of mostly black color!

End of blogging.

20221106-1333. For this next “angels” domain blog entry, I fixed the front home landing page to my “paws” domain site, choosing a more “professional” appearance with the “Page with Cover Title” template which “finally” has a “background” image sporting my original-site-logo created on Fiverr.com!

The only other elements to this “Page with Cover Title” template are: paragraphs and buttons! How simple is that cool beans?

For thousands of static pages for my biblical verses, I choose the “Page without Title” template and stuck my favorite “Next Random Verse” button generator below the post_content, which contains the verse the “Page Jump” link to its associate “book”.

For the 66 books and its landing page called “books” and the landing page called “verses” for the thousands of static verse pages, I chose the “Page with Cover Title and Featured Image”.

Now I have one template left called “Page with Header Cover”. I’ll have fun deciding which “pages”. Oh yeah, I’ll just borrow my other sarcastic static pages from my OLD now yeeted blog sites about me, my site, and my poetic ministry!

So I’m going through and spot-checking these thousands of static pages to make sure the majority were ‘backed-up and restored’ under the template called “Page without Title”.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

20221020-0023. After re-viewing my beautiful Dark Theme blog site, I had to tweak both the header and footer template parts.

The header seemed redundant when I inserted my extended version of welcome and explanation in place of the site tagline, which is a defaulted version borrowed from: Just another WordPress site.

The footer seemed TOO long when view from my iPhone 13 regular (Red). So I instead of mirroring both the site title AND the site tagline in the header AND the footer, I’ve opted to show these two elements in the footer only.

So now this simple blog seems to work well, at least for me. Oh and Sharing posts on social media has failed unto moi! Either y’all could possibly fix it or be dead, much like my viewership and blog posts to nowhere. Sigh.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

20221017-1438. I changed the reading settings from static pages to Your latest posts, which makes more sense because I’m just blogging about random stuff since 2006 and I’m NOT in the business of making money on “static pages”.

The two starter “posts” are the Hello World under the posts section and the “Home” page under the page section.

When using “static pages”, the system automatically generates a “Front page” assigned to Homepage and a “Blog” page assigned to Post page.

So far, there should be five “posts” automatically generated by the system when switching reading settings:

• Hello World
• Home
• Privacy Policy
• Front page
• Blog

That’s all the “post” pages that I would “recommend” for starters.

And the rest of the time is creating or writing new “posts” for your personal blog or online diary entries.

For the header, I’ve chosen the block base linear and modeled the “site tagline” after the default paragraphs found under either the Hello World post or the Home post.

The header is modeled after the mirror site of my favorite daily messenger: site logo (none), site name, site tagline, and navigation menu (none).

The header is responsive for Desktops, Tablets, and Phones. I have to preview each device and noticed that the size defaults for the typography is fine as-is. Anything larger than X-Large won’t look good on the Phone previews.

The footer remains the same with my KJV randomizer button; my two social media accounts, and my copyrighted messages. The footer is the same for all my other mirror sites.

The query loop (or meat and potatoes of a site) has changed from excerpts only to full summary for both front/home page and any “feed”:- I don’t know if this affects any news feed/readers or rss or atoms.

Under the Post Template, I must have my favorite Pagination element. The labels for Previous page is edited as Newer Posts and Next page is edited as Older Posts. This is easier for me to understand.

For the Blog page, the query loop contains the post excerpt instead of the post content, which is shown in full summary mode.

For the Home page, the cover image follows the featured image above.

For the Front page, I used a pattern called “pricing table” and labeled those as Blog, Bible, and Sites. It’s simple.

For the Privacy policy page, that’s needed for when sites allow comments.

Other than that, everything else seems okay for now. I’m keeping the dark background and light text.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

20221009-0944. I’m tweaking two main sites and set those in Private mode. I sent the technical support team my findings and THEY will get back to me.

One – my self-hosted and wpcomstaging sites share the same stuff! Why?

Yesterday, I noticed that my stats are showing a LONG post_id, which mirrors both the self-hosted and full-service sites!

So when I tried to right-click to see the wpcomstaging site, I saw my self-hosted site! Amazing! I hope THEY fix it! Fix it now!

Two – my King James Bible random verse generator is moving!

Anyways, I’m trying to move my KJV project to my other full-service site, BUT I still need to buy a plan to make the domain as the primary address!

One by one, I’m editing EACH verse to Template as Footer Only and Parent page as Verses. This is the ONLY way the randomizer button works:- These verses need a “landing/parent” page!

Thankfully, the Page links points to my domain name, which actually was the VERY first domain I purchased.

So symbolically, I’ll keep this one over the rest and let the other expire. I think this is what I really wanted: something point to religious/spiritual stuff and NOT merely parroting other controversial stuff online over the many slong years of blogging here.

Three – parking my domain over there.

Like I said, I still have maybe a handful of open online accounts that uses my customized domain email address.

And so I can’t really Transfer Out my domain from the self-hosted site to my wpcomstaging site. I failed to test if my domain email address still works — if I Connect my self-hosted domain (twice or thrice again) to my wpcomstaging site!

I’ll do that as soon as I finish my KJV project.

And I still like the dark background and dark green colors and overall layout of the Seedlet (Block) theme, which appears available for the self-hosted site but NOT as a Free theme should I decide to let my other useless domain names expire.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

20221005-2241. For the FlynnsAngels.com site, I just edited the Static homepage called Index and used the SmartCube template “No Title” and the Pattern “image and text side by side”.

See? Voila! That’s what I wanted! Something called a ‘landing’ page where the visitors are FORCED to click on my KJV random verse generator that I worked so hard to produce!

But no! Y’all don’t seem to care about religious or spiritual stuff! Y’all are always looking to censor truthers, noise makers, political opponents, military oppositions, or whatever group y’all can blame and tax needlessly!

Yeah so that’s done and I’ll probably won’t blog from that site because I really intended that to be a “static site” for bible readers: just keep clicking the shiny blue button and y’all will see your next biblical verse.

Beneath each verse, I plugged in the associated “book” and linked up directly to where the verse is located within the book! So instead of just reading one verse, y’all get to click and read the whole chapters and/or book of that verse.

Give it a go! If NOT, y’all are soulless bots and mine enemies, just clicking and NOT really understanding why I rant and rave and yet have some time left to read some biblical passages!

Heck! My other sites are mirrors of the FlynnsAngels.com site and some link back directly to this, my primary static site.

Oh, I almost forgot that I’m blogging on FlynnsPaws.me, which is good for nine years! So like I said, I’ll keep the self-hosted site and make it work, though I don’t know about the backups, since I really don’t have anything to sell or any audio or videos to share.

Blogging is just really a personal diary, only without the animated movements of videos or the rapid fire speech and background noises while tromping thought the woodland wilderness of mostly wood and/or open spaces as brought unto my earholes by my favorite spooky spook podcaster.

But that’s besides the point> I enjoy typing with my eyeballs closed, rights now! 20221005-2251. I just had a deja vu of looking up and then at the upper right hand corner of my computer monitor screen for the time entry.

That’s all I have to share about my two primary blogs and four secondary/mirror blogs. FlynnsPaws.

20221004-1844. Welp, I’ve been tweaking my blog and the webpage is responding faster with no freezes, pauses, or the like.

20221004-1848. I’ll take that back because the system is forcing me to go back to the self-hosted site with all those annoying messages to upgrade or else errors will plague my blog!

While blogging this post entry, I received an upload error message and the system is forcing me to log into my self-hosted site and it does NOT recognize my login credentials.

Nope! I’m NOT gonna have it; though I’ve blogged about staying on board with the self-hosted site, I can’t: because I still have active online accounts using my countless email aliases. So while I’d like to transfer out my domain here, it’s NOT gonna happen anytime soon.

So back to this stuff about rainbow colors.

For the cover, I have the huge cartouche, site logo front and center with its background in gradient rainbow color. The paragraph below this site logo is a simple welcome message.

For the query posts, I have the global colors set to a dark black background with light white text. I left the link color as a default PURE EVIL red and the headers and button colors are left to their own defaults, too.

Like Twatter and its dark overtones of censorship, I’ve included the profile photo, my site nickname, and my favorite date/timestamp.

For the footer, I have three columns and one paragraph. I changed the first column to be a gradient Midnight blue like the firmament above, the second column to be a gradient Pale Ocean blue like the waters below, and the third column to be a gradient Electric Grass like the ground zero of mankind.

My usual footer credits are down below where no man has gone before. Whatever! Haha!

Now I have to tweak each Template AND Template Parts, just the way my, myself and I like it!

That’s all! FlynnsPaws.

20221004-1743. Finally, I have created a single-column similar to Twatter! I have set 24 posts to fully display (and NOT as excerpts) on the front/home/feed page!

Each post has its normal layout, just the way I like it: post title, post content, and post date. See? Simple and no extra post-meta stuff, such as author, categories, tags, and the like!

Earlier this morning, I was wonder why the “default” Site Editor continues to bring up the “Footer only” template! In other themes, the “Index” or “Home” or “Home and Footer” would show up.

Now I reviewed my Settings > Reading. Lo and behold, the Static page was set to “Home” and “Posts”! This was probably still stuck during propagation from my old self-hosted site into this full-service platform!

I was pissed off the whole morning and now I’m more relieved after this discovery a few minutes ago! Now I’ve saved the new Settings > Reading to Latest posts displayed!

So now if the archive crawlers are taking snapshots, at least the posts would be available in fully summary mode instead of excerpts, and in case the Jetpack Backup blows up or fails to do its job, which happened I dare vouchsafe share unto y’all back in April/May 2022. Do NOT doubt unto moi! Foul play!

So now the both the “cover” and the “footer” are colorful!

I’ll have to clean up any old reusable blocks. But then again I tend to “hoard” old, unwanted, useless stuff, much like in real like or imaginations too, short of addiction, or obsession, or other compulsive behavior.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

20221004-1227. I reverted the background color dark and the text and links colors light. I’m having fun changing colors!

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.
