Today’s Blogging 101 task is to try out a couple of new themes, even one that you have no intention of keeping. I am not actually going to participate in this one because I played around with my theme recently and I kind of like how it looks at the moment!
I like things that are either really simple, or extremely loud and snazzy! Two completely opposite extremes. I am not a very arty or creative person (except maybe with words), so have to make do with the bog standard version of the theme,
My blog is pretty uncomplicated anyway, It usually follows the same kind of format, of writing an essay style piece about something, and posting a (hopefully) relevant picture to illustrate my point.
I tend to stick to what I know how to do, which isn’t a lot! I have worked out how to add videos which is great as I wanted to read some of my poems out and I have found this easier than I expected once I got the hang of it.
I love widgets, and have found the theme I use (Sela) is pretty generous with them so that enables me to put in my favourite blogs and blogging community. I can also put badges on there such as the one for Blogging 101!
I am on the lookout still for a lovely, loud and colourful theme, that is good for mostly text and the odd picture or video. If anyone knows of one that I have missed then I would love to hear about it!

Ah nothing like a redesign and the journey into the wordpress frustration!

The term ‘K.I.S.S’ applies to themes, I think. WordPress has gone with themes that are deliberately crippled until you pay subscription fees. Even then it’s impossible to get the best out of themes unless you have a good grounding in HTML.

I don’t know what K.I.S.S. stands for, but it is tricky to play around with them when you don’t have much of a clue!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
