I’m done futzing with the journal layout. It was a good exercise. By making all the changes to the base system and integrating it into my website I learned much more about CSS styles and PHP programing. But now it is cast in concrete, no more tweaking, and it is time to move on to other aspects of my life that I have been avoiding—namely getting back on the saddle again after my accident.

I discarded the blog theme I was using, went back to square one using the WordPress default theme and have started customizing it. As of this post I have modified everything to my taste except the comments page. Still working on it.

Goal: finish this damn thing today then get out and begin riding again.

Well, I thought I had the installation and customization of Word Press completed then I checked the site using IE and discovered it was not displaying correctly. I’ve been fighting that to no avail. I may just start fresh using a different theme as the foundation for the journal. Until I have it figured out, I have switched to the default theme so that the journal posts will display correctly in all browsers–not that I expect anyone is reading this yet, but ya never know.
