Renewed For Another Year

I am renewed with WordPress.com for another year on the premium plan. I’m glad to host with them and to support the folks at Automattic. They do all the heavy lifting so all I need to do is create.

Thought Of The Day

A country without mercy, humanity and a desire for peace cannot be great. When it condones cruelty then it has lost it’s moral compass. All this starts with leadership.

Short Blog Post Ideas

There is a misconception that a blog post has to be lengthy and comprehensive. My approach to blogging is one that is a hybrid of a traditional blog post with that of a Tweet. 240 characters or 240 words or less can give you freedom to post thoughts, current events going on in your life and other ideas. Make a point of blogging in the moment. Post a picture and add a little text to it. Some bloggers have word prompts such as the ones from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com can help with getting your creative juices flowing. Also you can post your favorite YouTube videos and other media.

Find quotes from people you like that inspire you and share with others.

So when you find it hard to come up with a post you can go small for big results. The key is to keep on blogging, it can be fun again.

The blog is now using the Sela Theme which is very versatile and easy to read. When you visit you see it looks more like a homepage with a very cool look to it. At the bottom of the front page are my most recent articles, my best articles by visitation and a slideshow of what you can expect visually here. The menu can take you to any of the sites pages and other features. I customized the sites cascading style sheet to create a striking dark blue look with white font to make it stand out.

This is what you will see when you visit the site on your phone’s browser. The theme is adaptive and looks good not only on desktop but mobile too. On the phone it has the feel of an app which is nice. You can still find everything easily on your mobile phone.

Seasonally its good to change things up to keep things fresh and interesting. The key is to keep it readable and easy to use. Thank you for continuing to connect with me through my blog. Your friendship and support is appreciated as always.
