Trying Premium Theme: Debut
Here are the combined blog entries for trying Premium Theme: Debut:

Trying Theme: Retro-fitted
Since the “Infinite Scroll” was implemented for both Twenty-Ten and Twenty-Eleven, I took that as a sign to try new themes! So this time it is:
“Retro-fitted by Justin Tadlock
Subtle textures are mixed with clean lines and shadows to create a beautifully balanced composition perfect for all types of blogs. Read more about Retro-fitted →“
I like this theme because the muted colors of red, white, blue and beige are easy on the eyes and similar to the colors in the “Luscious” theme. The “Georgia” fonts are normal and easy to read with bold bold titles and headers and are balanced appropriately for the contents and the sidebar, where widgets are boxed separately to give emphasis to each it. The unlisted order is indented and spaced nicely and are set off with square boxes. Of course, I get to see my time-stamp, located to the right of the author’s name.

Trying Theme: Suburbia
As a personal protest to a recent feature (called an “infinite scroll”) added on two WP.com themes (Twenty-Ten and Twenty-Eleven), I’ve switched theme! That’s right! This time I’m trying:
Suburbia by WPShower
Suburbia is a unique magazine theme in a minimalistic style. Designed by WPShower. It features five widget areas, custom header, and custom background. Read more about Suburbia →
It’s worse than my previous WordPress.com theme: Twenty-Eleven. With Suburbia, readers are FORCED to click on the post, which is viewed an “excerpt” from the “front/home” page. Further, there are only four widgets on the bottom bars to keep the page free of “clutter”. In this way, readers are FORCED to focus on boring links. The “primary” sidebar only has three widgets: Search, Gravatar and Meta. The only compromise is my time stamp, which is missing. So I’ll keep looking for my ideal WordPress.com theme.

“I think that Flynn’s dad had died”
Yesterday, I thought of Maw’s hairline: it is the shape of a widow’s peak. I’ve a feeling that Paw would pass on first prior to Maw. Paw already “died” on October 30, 2010 over the death of his maternal Uncle Julian on that same day.
“they were talking about old memories & other things as they moved stuff”
If we cannot take care of this old house since 1976, we might move out to a smaller dwelling, such as an apartment.
“whatever she said made me feel that I would offend them or make things worse”
Yeah, we are VERY emotionally sensitive. Thanks for understanding.
“one of his friends had recommended that he start walking more instead of using his wheelchair”
We encountered a Filipina friend of ours from the DeCA stores a few days ago. She told Maw to walk instead of using her wheelchair to get around even though Maw’s painful gout bothered her right foot/heel.
“he had practiced walking with his cane or walker”
Maw still uses the walking cane to get around our home and go upstairs. She only used the walker once upstairs to use the bathroom but pushing it around (with her weight being around 190 pounds) proved to be difficult upon the flat carpet.
“so many people at the same time needed crutches and I found it odd that so many of them were former athletes”
The boy has been doing marathon running ever since his friend John got partial paralysis from a bicycle accident. Most athletes get injured and are never fully recovered/the same — EVER.

My protesting SOPA…
I’m protesting the censorship of my weblog! Perhaps, I should STOP blogging and/or render my weblog into “PRIVATE” mode, too! That way, no one will know what I’m thinking!

Trying Premium Theme: Luscious
Prior to midnight, I purchased a $45.00 Premium Theme. I like it because it’s got my Genesis stuff and mostly pink colors. That’s all until 30 days for a full refund (if NOT completely satisfied). I can NOT improve my personal blog other than to change it’s layout and appearance. The content is as my new tagline says: “Mostly Rants and Other Stuff”.

Pedophilia a Doctrine of the Kaballah and the Talmud!
The article mentions Jewish Rabbis, Catholics and MORMON leaders. No wonder the world is screwed up! No wonder law enforcements and government officials don’t mind financially/legally RAPING society/innocents! These parasites must be covered up to their chest in dirt and stoned to death for their crimes against humanity. Why can’t fire/jail these failed regulators?

Trying Theme: Bouquet
This time I trying a new WordPress.com theme:
Bouquet by Automattic

Tags: blog, craft, journal, nature, outdoors, photoblogging, photography, clean, curved, earthy, flowery, natural, outdoorsy, simple, sophisticated, blue, pink, white, light, one-column, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-width, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, full-width-template, post-formats, rtl-language-support, translation-readyThere are two theme options of flowery header images: Pink Dogwood a default in pink and Forget-Me-Not in blue. There is only one sidebar widget, which I won’t use for now because my “Hello Word” page, which is a “Sticky Post” will serve as the “Table of Contents” or a “Sitemap” and provides the “Archives” and “Subscription” links, too. Only five of the most recent posts are displayed. The width of the contents auto-fits for smaller screen resolutions, which reveals a time-stamp from the hover over the date.

Trying Premium Theme: Eight
Tonight and for $55.00 (a double-digit numerical value), I purchased a Premium Theme! That’s right! I’ve got 30 days to try out my new WordPress theme.
The layout of this theme is VERY simple. And this time I like reading SMALLER fonts. I noticed LARGER fonts make reading MUCH slower. More spaces in between lines/paragraphs and contents/sidebars tend to distract me.
The meta data underneath the post title: “Written on [datetime stamp] by [author]” section for the ONE and ONLY excerpt found on the “index/front/home” page, followed by links for Edit, Categories, Tags and Comments section for the “single view” page.
The content is to the left of the sidebar widget. Five of my main/parent pages fit VERY nicely on the top navigation bar. But the “Site Title” feels too bulky for the small box on the upper right hand corner and on the lower left hand section of the footer. The “Search” form is located on the upper right hand corner.
The footer has the “Tagline” and default fields for RSS Posts and RSS Comments. Credit for the theme designer is given as usual here.
The most recent post entry is shown as an excerpt. The same goes for “Sticky Posts”. “Rate This” is shown on this excerpt.
“Recent Entries” show only the Post title; the meta and comments. “Recent Entries” can be changed via the “Reading Settings” of the Dashboard. A maximum of five “Recent Comments” is shown as excerpts.
Eight by Automattic
