WordPress Modifications

Besides being a week late, I’m still an unable to effect certain font changes and customize a color scheme. But since my sitemap and wireframes will be meaningless without this information, I figured I needed to post this….as is. The particular wordpress theme I selected did come with a few color options. Consequently, I was able to choose the least offensive color scheme available. The colors look better on my laptop than on my desktop. I did add a plugin from wordpress’ list of one-click activations. However, I have no idea if this plug will help me in any way. I was hoping to find a plug in that might provide some added value displaying digital images on designated pages. Just playing around with installing pictures I figured out that I could add pictures either as individual blog posts or as a gallery on a stand alone page. Each method has pros and cons so I was curious if a plugin might offer me some other alternative relative to displaying images. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. But plugins aside, I think this wordpress theme will be conducive to presenting my content. If I stay with wordpress, I may yet add an additional page so that I can separate early childhood photos from the images of the Hay County Herald. I think the thumbnails offered in a gallery presentation are better for the newspaper images while blog posts can allow people to comment on various family photos. The lone bright spot for me is the comfort level I have developed with wordpress. I have no doubt that I can expand or change most any aspect of this website to suit future needs. Thus, I think wordpress maybe more sustainable for a computer-goon like me.
