Personalizing My Site

What I Did Today, I made two major changes to the overall appearance of my WordPress Site. First, I changed the theme from “Edin” to “Eighties.” I did this because I liked the photo of Times Square, New York City in the banner at the top of the web page. However, I discovered that I […]

Before Gluing The Pieces Together

Although I still haven’t accomplished a significant amount of work on my blog, I think it’s important to think about how I would like to implement my strategies first. There’s a lot of things to consider: the logo, the theme, background, menu navigation, or other mixed media I should add to the site. I’m likely…

Day Two: The Summary

Day II

What I Did Today I added a category for my daily posts that we publish during class and called it “response of the day.” I also went ahead and uploaded a header image, which is now a background to the text title I aligned on the left side on the image. I added three widgets: […]

what I did and why I did it….

Today, working on this troublesome blog, I realized that I am cursed when it comes to technology. The last time I tried to customize my site, my phone refused to send the photo emails to my computer.
