202504050-0946. Good morning, chumps! The sun is shining. The temperature is cool. Per this morning’s incoming thoughts of inspirations, I’ve tweaked my front page, especially two main Cover block images: gothic cat at writing desk and chemtrails spewing above and below!
For whatever strange reason, these are blessings! Per yesterday’s blog, I still have two main groups: the “above” group for the Header blocker, in which the dammed Sticky Position does NOT seem to work “automatically” and the “below” group for everything else. This Header block has three columns for the Navigation block of all my pages, for the Image block of The REAL FlynnsPaws A.K.A. FlynnsBlogs created on Canva dot com, and for the Navigation block which contains the Search block. This Header was emulated from the presidential site. The background colors for both Navigation blocks is dark blue, like the presidential site.
All blocks are detached with the assumption that less groups/rows/stacks/layers/levels/hierarchies would “speed up” my site’s performance. I’ve tried to reset all settings back to “default” as much as possible, again assuming this would help with my site’s responsiveness.
Within the “below” group, there are five sub-groups.
The first “below” sub-group contains a Header block group of greetings, which emulates the presidential site. I copied/pasted this Header block group from my Titles block group; because the dark blue background color blends into and leaves no gaps in between its adjacent groups. This “trick” works for my site, because the global settings for the background color is set to a lighter stone color from the presidential site.
The second “below” sub-group contains a Cover image block of the gothic cat at writing desk and its Header block of greetings. I set this Cover image to an Overlay Opacity of number 50 and to a Minimum height of 150 vh.
The third “below” sub-group contains a Cover image of my chemtrails spewing above and below. This is where my main content of meat-and-potatoes is located/placed. I set this Cover image to Fixed background with an Overlay Opacity of number 50.
This third “below” sub-group contains the same three old blocks: Query Loop, Top Posts & Pages and Content Carousel, respectively.
Also included is the same old two-column Bento Grid (from theme Kentwood) pattern. I had a difficult time with one of the two sub-columns because the Paragraph block entry for the Features was too long, thus making this Stack longer than the Dreams and Blogs Stack. So I had to reword this Features Paragraph block; so that the overall “height” would line-up with the Dreams and Blogs Paragraph block.
Also included is a Cover image group of a crinkled blue paper from Canva dot com. This group has a Paragraph block describing the Button block for my Reader Feeds.
The fourth “below” sub-group contains the Image block on “The REAL FlynnsPaws”, which I created on Canva dot com, and my Social Icons.
The fifth and final “below” sub-group contains the Paragraph block for my Credit.
I am VERY please with the display of my Front home page, Cornerstone page.
End of transmission 1030 PST. P.S. The current time is 1031 PST and I regenerated the Critical CSS and the current Desktop and Mobile scores are decreased to 92 and 64, respectively. Oh, well!
