Today I figured out how to change my background image and header image. Sadly I need to make a new header image since the one I used on my old website no longer fits and this template has a very fixed size and cropping my old one didn’t work. So I get to do that tomorrow.
I’ve also been looking at widgets. I think I found one that would work for an image gallery, but I need to download it first and then see about getting it installed and working. Once I figure that out, adding any future widgets should be a breeze.
What else did I figure out today? Oh, I noticed that the time stamp was incorrect so I found out how to change the date and time and set it to the correct city. I’m not very good with GTC so I got lucky when I noticed it had “pick your city.” Had to scroll through about a quarter of the world to find a city that is in my time zone. Was like finding a needle in a haystack.
I also figured out how to delete comments since WordPress adds their very own when you start a new site. Leaving it made me feel dumb so it got deleted very quickly once I found out how.
There are just so many things to learn and get used to. Plus I just found a few more things just while typing this. There is a little icon the says “show/hide kitchen sink.” I was curious and hit it. I now have a whole other row of formatting options. For example underline, text color, custom characters and undo.
Like I said so many things to learn. It’s just to bad I can’t do it all in 1 day.
