20250115-2153. Behold! I have tweaked my footer again! This time I added the Subscribe to Blog via Email widget on the top row and to the right of my external/internal links!
When I viewed my front-homepage, I was astounded to see the balance between this widget on the top right row the Search widget on the bottom left row! The plain white background color felt normal or emphasize the “professionalism”, too, I guess.
I’m thinking to myself that this looks more professional. But I’ll have to sample more websites and adjust my front-homepage to remove duplications, such as the Subscribe widget.
I am feeling more comfortable working with Padding. I found that adjusting the Padding works well for the strange off-centered design of the Search (Jetpack) bar widget. The Search (Elementor) bar widget was nicer, more balance, and wider but too fat.
However, my feeling is rather constrained as is reflected in the way I “design” my weblog site. I just had a thought about how and why these two Search bar widget appear TOO huge!
I noticed that more websites are wider and taller and more colorful. So that could mean the more traditional and conservative version of clean lines and more straightforward themes that do NOT distract but focus on simplicity is going away.
Well, I’m tired of striving for perfecting. But I did see small gray vertical lines from copying and pasting or Duplicating a Container with the designer’s strange Padding settings, which gave the Search bar widget a strange off-balance and off-center presentation.
Perhaps, I need to add more curves, radial effects and animations, too! And I could break outta the mold of conventional no-nonsense, boring monotone themes. Nay, I still have my rainbow site icon to use somewhere in my blog.
There is lots of room to keep going and further tweak my weblog site to my preferred perfection.
