Learning

On the surface it doesn’t look like a lot has been done here. The reality is that a lot of learning and experimenting have been occurring.

Hours were spent trying on and playing with themes. I searched for and found a lot premium themes. Their cost ranged from minimal to very expensive by my standards. My final choice is the Weaver WordPress Theme. It is a good fit for this blog.

I have obtained  great information from reading WordPress Weaver ; WordPress.org; One Cool Site and Lorelle on WordPress . Those sites are valuable sources of information.

I have spent hours looking at Photos and other images from Big Stock Photo to find the right header image for the site. It has been fun to play around with ColorZilla to coordinate the Menu Bars with the header photo for this site. I have used it several times and like it better all the time. It is one of my favorite tools.

I also bought a paperback copy of WordPress Web Design For Dummies. After years of blogging and running a site with very little knowledge of Web Design, HTML and CSS I have decided it is time to learn about all of these topics. This poor book will be well worn by the time my thirst for knowledge is sated.

The one thing I know is that there is a lot to learn.

A Decision

Welcome to my new blog!

I decided yesterday to set up a blog to talk about all of  my hobbies. The hard of the process has been choosing a theme that meets my requirements. I experimented with several until choosing this one.

This blog will be a work in progress for the next several days while additions are made to it.
