For the moment, I am done with renovations of my blog. I am using Twenty-Fourteen, which is an eleven-year old WordPress theme, to get the job done. It’s fun to take an old theme and soup it up with some current features to make it just work.
I finished (for now) renovations on my blog. I am using the 2015 Default WordPress theme. It features a sidebar on the left instead of the more common right side. With some coding and creativity, you can make a 10-year-old theme look current. I used the Firefox browser to make all my edits and to research ways of manipulating the fonts and colors. It’s good to change things up every now and then. Please check it out when you have a moment.
Change can be good for almost anything. So, I felt like my blog needed a little refreshing and perhaps something familiar at the same time. I have spent time changing my blog theme which I haven’t done in a while. I am using the 2016 WordPress Theme with some custom CSS to make it look like I want it to look which is white/light font on dark backgrounds. It is in keeping with my whole dark mode motif I have everywhere I can. I hope you check it out and your input is appreciated. Keep on blogging good people.
I have changed back to the Twenty Sixteen theme because it has a classic blog feel and it looks cleaner too. I did some modifying to the themes CSS to give it a little custom touch. What do you think?
I wanted to do something different than just a blog and to challenge my ability to take a stock theme and customize it to the way I wanted it to look. Using the Sela theme that is somewhat light and airy I tweaked it using some CSS and gave it the Tony touch. The blog functions as a website as well as a blog so I have the best of both worlds. Let me know how you like it and is it easy to navigate. Thanks for putting up with my changing stuff around. As long as you can read it on all your devices that is what I am going for.
I have used the Toujours theme before but I wanted it to look the way I wanted. It took me some time to find the CSS coding to make it look the way I wanted but after much research on the web and trial-and-error I have made it mine. The coloring is based upon the college where I got my bachelors degree, Middle Tennessee State University’s school colors which is blue and white. Everything on it is bigger and bolder than I have ever done before. It’s easy to read and use, well at least I think so. Let me know what you think. Feedback is always welcome.
