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.

The Day Of The New Doctor, Jodie Whittaker Is The 13th #doctorwho
Today is the debut of the 13th Doctor in the long-running science fiction show “Doctor Who’ Jodie Whittaker assumes the role as the first woman to do so. Every time there is a new person playing this iconic role we wonder what they will be like and what they will do. I believe with Whittaker who is a great actress she will make The Doctor her own and treat the role and the institution with reverence and respect. She will be brilliant!
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.
An example of a short post with a picture/graphic.
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.

A Striking, Very Blue New Look For The Tony Burgess Blog #wordpress
As seen on the Chrome OS Browser
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.
As seen on the Google Chrome Browser on a Google Pixel XL Phone
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.
New Wordpress Streak Notification
This is cool. WordPress is encouraging people to blog more by notifying them they are on a streak of consecutive posts. This is what I believe in as a blogger is to keep on blogging and I am glad for them to keep people posting on their WordPress blogs.
