<\/p>\ni originally designed this blog when i was in a very atypically withdrawn, quiet place, emotionally.\u00a0 i chose a design for the blog that was also very quiet and subtle.\u00a0 but lately, i’m feeling like i’m much more back to my old self (not particularly withdrawn or quiet) and i wanted to re-design the blog to reflect my new outlook on this journey we’re on.\u00a0 unfortunately, i have learned this evening, that because of the very quick-and-easy route we chose to use to start this blog, i am limited to choosing one of the pre-made themes that wordpress offers.\u00a0 i can’t even change the header image or the color scheme or…. anything!\u00a0 so here is a slightly different theme.\u00a0 i’m not sure i like it yet (i certainly don’t LOVE it) but it would allow me to post much larger photos as well as a subtitle to the blog, which are two nice features.\u00a0 plus, this particular theme lets me choose my favorite of 9 basic fonts to use (woooo!\u00a0 nine!\u00a0 gettin’ fancy!\u00a0 hmmm…..do I want “Arial” or “Lucida Sans Unicode”?).\u00a0 i even had this new header created:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
which isn’t even ALL that fancy, but at least it’s relevant to the blog topic.\u00a0 oh well.\u00a0 maybe most of you read my post through your rss feed and don’t even see the blog itself.\u00a0 or maybe someday, when we’re less pressed for time, i’ll be able to talk J into helping me change this whole thing over to a more malleable format (apparently, it’s a bit of a big project to migrate over).\u00a0 In the big scheme of adoption issues this is sooooooo bottom-rung, last-priority.\u00a0\u00a0 but it’s just one more little thing that i’m not in control of.\u00a0 and we all know how much i like to be in control.\u00a0 oh well.\u00a0 happy long weekend, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
