  • 20091103-Friggin Bored

    I’ve been playing around with my free themes here at WordPress.com by switching among different themes and editing my paid CSS stylesheet upgrade.

    Honestly, I’m really getting tired of tweaking my theme and wanted nothing to do with paying upgrades:

    Custom CSS

    This upgrade allows you to add custom CSS to customize any theme on this current blog. This is recommended mostly for advanced users who understand CSS. (more info)

    5GB

    Add 5GB of space to your upload directory (more info)

    VideoPress

    Upload and embed video on your blog directly (more info)

    My addiction to blogging has gotten out of hand! I’m happy with WordPress.com but I must find a way to be satisfied with one theme. And the only way to stop customizing my paid CSS upgrade is to concentrate on blogging.

  • 20091102-Precious Prayer

    Mary, Queen of Peace, we turn to you, our Mother.
    Into your hands we place our prayers.

    For our men and women serving in the military, protect them!
    For innocent victims of war and violence, spare them!
    For those who mourn and are injured, comfort them!
    For people of all nations, unite them in the love and peace of your Son,
    the Prince of Peace.

    Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!

  • 20091102-Precious Prayer

    Holy Spirit, we are a sinful nation,
    and we beg you to send us
    your authentic spirit of repentance.
    We are also a nation
    capable of great charity and justice,
    so look not on our sins,
    heavenly Spirit of mercy,
    but upon our sorrow
    and resolve to turn from evil,
    to fight evil, and procure victory over evil.
    Illuminate the minds and souls of our citizens
    and especially our leaders
    so we can see the error of our ways,
    and give us the sweet grace required
    to turn to God with pure hearts.

    — Pope John Paul II

  • 20091031-Old Theme

    Okay! I’m trying another free theme here at WordPress.com:

    Black-LetterHead by Ulysses Ronquillo

    Black Letterhead is a two-column minimalistic theme with a black background, customizable header and widget sidebar.

    Tags: black, dark, two-columns, fixed-width, orange, custom-header, right-sidebar, widgets, sticky-post, rtl-language-support

    Personal PROs:

    • Dark, two-columns.
    • Red, orange, black and yellow colors.
    • Tagline and custom header.
    • Sidebar disappears when posts viewed in single mode.
    • Links to previous and next post entries when posts viewed in single mode.
    • Normal-looking text to captions.

    Personal CONs:

    • Archives mode viewed as excepts.
    • Time stamp viewable in single mode.

    I’ve set the front page to display my `Contents` page. As a result, I’ve removed the `main menu` widget from the sidebar. This means that the most recent (latest) posts are under the `New posts` section.

  • 20091028-New Stuff

    Brouhaha! I’ve learned that expression from lurking online. And through the power that which is the almighty internet, I’ve spiced up my boring weblog due to (you guessed correctly) BOREDOM.

    Yesterday afternoon, I’ve got good news. Last night, I’ve been thinking about wiggling my toes through sand and water of the beach. This morning I thought about that unpublished book and starting a publishing company, say, Fluffy and Flynn. But I think too much.

    I think that I could be a channel for advertising my favorite subjects. So my weblog now sports more Dorkboy stuff: a new page entitle Dorkboy and an `Image widget`, featuring an orange sun with 13 sunrays.

    I found a useful quote by cbswork from one of two weblog sites by Madam Mews. I placed the same image of an orange sun from the sidebar widget to the right of the quote, which could be found on the new Dorkboy page, which is divided currently into three sections: products, photos and weblogs.

  • 20091022-Old Theme

    Okay! I’m trying another free theme here at WordPress.com:

    Thirteen by Becca Wei

    A stylish fixed-width two-column theme in green adorned with interesting flora.

    Tags: two-columns, fixed-width, green, rtl-language-support, left-sidebar, widgets, sticky-post

    Personal PROs:

    • Colors are green, cream and orange.
    • Flowery designs.

    Personal CONs:

    • Nothing, so far.

    I’ve set the front page to display my `Contents` page. As a result, I’ve removed the `main menu` widget from the sidebar. This means that the most recent (latest) posts are under the `New posts` section.

    My almost daily blog for sharing god`S GOLD and living a SuNNY LiFe.

    Learn more about Fluffy von der Flynn (a novice writer) as she artfully (if not masterfully) weaves stories and poems through her personal weblog of `alternative topics` ranging from conspiracy (bankster and spook) to paranormal (chemtrails and weather-related phenom via orgone) and other rants (politics in the news, relationships and religion). Read her dreams. Avoid spams. View Images and Videos.

    Enjoy and be educated!

  • 20091007-Tweaked Page

    Well, as usual due to sheer boredom, lack of employment and of NO satisfaction, I’ve tweaked my `Home` page, which is titled `Highlights`. The decision was made after sampling the main page of Wikipedia – the free encyclopedia.

    The tables are separated by a `horizontal bar` (or `<hr />`).

    Each table is colored coded, too!

    Here are the details:

    • Yellow – Short Angel poem.
    • Blue – Topics of interest with descriptions in proactive verbs.
    • Red – Two sets of photos from the Shareapic.net website.
    • Purple – Three sets of photos from FlynnsPaws.
    • Green – More links of interest: 15 recent posts, Flickr.com slideshows, Orgone pages and four categories.
    • Orange – One YouTube.com video on `Chemtrails of Death`.

  • 20091004-Old Theme

    Well, I’m trying another free theme here at WordPress.com:

    Contempt by Michael Heilemann

    A more professional version of Kubrick, sporting hard lines and 2-columns.

    Tags: blue, custom-header, two-columns, fixed-width, right-sidebar, widgets, sticky-post, white, light, rtl-language-support

    Personal PROs:

    • Blog name, tagline, top/navigation menu bar.
    • Notification on the very top of the sidebar: `You are currently browsing the Flynn’s Blogs blog archives for [whatever here].`
    • Nice shades of gray and white.
    • Neat layers of backgrounds in gray, giving 3-D picture frame effect.

    Personal CONs:

    • Time stamp shown only under single view.
    • Cannot hide visibility of `.postmetadata` or `.small` without hiding time stamp via CSS stylesheet.
    • The button effect is narrower via the Gravatar widget. I want the width of the buttons to fill the full width of the sidebar!

  • 20091004-Friggin Cold

    Been friggin cold the past few days but lots of sunny, clear blue skies with cold breeze. Some fluffy, clouds this morning. Was long clouds over westward hills of Bay Area last evening. Had to wear layers of clothes: bra, undershirt, long sleeve and jacket. Muscles cold and locking up, causing pain.

  • 20091002-Tweaked Page

    Anyway, after trolling for articles on any updates to the health care bill, I’ve sampled the front page of C-SPAN.org and decided to tweak my `Home` (or front) page from showing four poems to presenting the following `Highlights`:

    • `Last most recent 15 posts`;
    • Three orgone images from FlynnsPaws (75 x 75);
    • Three links to Flickr slideshows;
    • Three sky-related images from FlynnsPaws (75 x 75);
    • A poll (which noone cares to take); and
    • Four links to categories.

    Check it out! Or else, evil kitty will not be happy! Hiss! Hiss!
