Buttons up (stating the obvious)

Valentine’s Day seems like yesterday… I made myself a promise to make a real effort with this blog and get it sorted once and for all. Hopefully it’s getting there. I would have liked to have signed up for B201:IC next month and completed it this time – I got close to the finish in Novemeber. But I’m very slow off the mark learning how to make menus and widgets work properly. It’s starting to fall into place…

My fourteen days of posts stalled at ten (reblogs from the cooking pot shindig…and Matchmaker Q&A). So, I’ll finish all four of each type of post tomorrow, in one post each.

I miss my old header. This isn’t it. It’s the result of trying to crop my previous header. Its ovalised, but I quite like the twist. I might try it here and move the other one, or vice versa… What do you think?

Dear ideal reader {insert name here}

Thank you for visiting and I’m stuck for words – luckily there’s not room on the back of a postcard enough for  a long yabber so I’ll cut to it.

This picture-postcard looking image is currently my blog icon. What do you think? Do you prefer a blog with a standard sidebar like this theme – or to have fun on a widget hunt?

Please let me know if you have any trouble getting around and I’ll try and fix things.

I’ll be getting around to making a Leap Day ‘Leapster’ challenge post in a while. If you made a leap (or a post about leap year/leap day) and want to drop a link in the meantime, if it fits, I’ll round it up to any other appropriate place.

Leap in to the Leap Year 2016 Guestbook

You can also leap over to the guest book and leave a link there if you prefer (or as well, if you’re feeling generous).

Outaspace! gotta dash… have fun, and Happy Leap into…

Where would you like to go next? sidebar?

morepages-index page? or BLOG HOME?

Escape route?

Why is it…?

Why is it, that even in premium themes…

… there’s nothing with everything that I want?!

Why does my previous header not want to fit most themes? Why does a header with the correct depth still insist on stretching that depth?

Why have I changed theme again?

Maybe it was just to sense the panic of realising that having not remembered to make an export file before messing about with theme previews and changes.

Presently…

… I’m thinking I like the Dyad theme, but not sure I want it here…

…maybe I prefer a classic style theme with a neat and straightforward sidebar and not have the visual distraction. In a theme likes this [previous Dyad] there is so much extra to consider when formulating a post – including how one image impacts on another in home-page views, tag/category views etc.

There’s not enough customisation option either. I can’t choose a background colour so one looks much the same as another to an extent. In the colour scheme options I might like one element from scheme with another element from another colur scheme, but can’t split my choice.

I also think some of my few readers probably prefer a standard post view and a calmer, less dramatic visual environment. I might play with the Dyad theme some more on a test blog and change theme at The Wishing Well again very soon…  Have changed, later in same day. Have you seen it in hompepage view yet? Is it clear to navigate or confusing?

… and I’ll catch up with my #11-14 posts soon enough…
