    For my Flynn’s Orgone weblog site here at WordPress.com, I switched ‘The default WordPress theme complete with customizable header and widgets’ (Kubrick) to Ocean Mist by Ed Merritt.

    Its description is: ‘A blueish two-column theme with a large customizable header, visible post author, and category navigation at the bottom.’ Other feature include ‘custom header, two columns, blue, fixed width, rtl (or right table)’.

    I like this one better because the default header shows a scenic image of clouds and ocean in the background with greenery in the foreground. The header of my former theme was a gradient color of violet to indigo.

    Trying new WordPress.COM theme: Spring Loaded by the 449. It’s ‘A fresh, green theme with a clean layout and modern type.’ It has ‘one column, widgets, and page navigation’. As a result, I had to remove to widgets: ‘Search’ and ‘Pages’. The adjectives to describe this new theme are: ‘green, fresh, grass, and spring’.

  • 20090331-Visible Pages

    Since y’all are too busy to navigate within my fine, long-winded pages o’plenty and click on the many fine links to read MORE pages, I’ve tweaked my paid CSS Stylesheet for the ‘ChaosTheory’ theme.

    For the ‘globalnav’ section; the height is set to 60px with its ‘listed menu’ set to a padding of 5px (for top and bottom) and 15px for the sides). I really wanted to squoosh this ‘navigation bar’ towards the top and into one long strip, similar to Yahoo! News.

    But for those using screen resolutions of 800 by 600 pixels, the visual to the navigation bar was all messed up. Then again, I didn’t test the ‘height’. I should try again but I’m too lazy to find out now, maybe later on.

    Most of my [static] ‘pages’ are included within this (top) navigation bar, except the five sub-pages to the Web-Book (front stuff, front matter, body matter, back matter and back stuff) and a few set pages to ‘private’ mode.

    I expect to see some ‘hits’ based on my stats. Speaking of stats, the ‘Stats’ page has been generated with a simple push of a button called ‘Summary Tables’, which is located towards the bottom of the ‘Blog Stats’ page of my ‘Dashboard’.  It is now a visible selection of the (top) navigation bar, called ‘STATS!’

    Oh! Y’all could take my POLL. It’s a multiple selection of five, ranging from very satisfied to very dissatisfied. The results of the poll are visible to the public. So far none cares to amuse me. In other words, there are no results yet! Blah!
