bookmark_borderInitial Post and Observations

Aha, my first official post on here! Well, in the year 2023, anyway. My other themes that I created were from 2011-2013, so you can imagine how long it’s been since I touched any sort of theme code. I do still like them, but they definitely need tweaking.

First of all, I still hate WordPress and I feel coding-wise that it’s really only gotten worse in the past decade. That said, I found a theme called Noto Simple that was actually organized, notated, and complied to current code formatting. The other blank ones definitely did not do…any of that. Currently I have created a theme that matches my current site design. At the moment, I still haven’t figured out how to mess with the div that I think is causing the ‘Other Blog Stuff’ menu to come out weird and tiny.

I’ll keep working on it. In the meantime, I’m very happy Font Awesome has its own plugin that works.
