More Unscheduled Theme Testing

At the risk of breaking something without prior warning, here’s yet another post trying new things. I’ve installed a new plugin called Kadence Blocks. It should do a lot and they say it behaves nicely with most themes. The biggest question at the moment is spacing between blocks/paragraphs. Previewing the post seems to look fine even though the editing screen shows a large gap between sections. It’s probably by design to aid in placing blocks.

Here’s testing another design idea. This seems closer to my legacy site design without having to manually pound in HTML code. This text block is intended to go to the left of an image. I had gotten it down where I didn’t have to use tables for this design. Now is the time to really annoy by rambling on to see how the text block behaves. So far previewing looks good, however…….trying to publish this post may hold a surprise!

Another thought is that fonts may change with defaults set by the themes. Hopefully not! There are so many themes available which are quite similar on the outside, but have obvious differences in areas such as fonts. Maybe nobody will notice…. yeah, right!

After thinking about this font business, why not annoy folks with nifty fonts every post since there are over 2000 fonts available right now in the selection of fonts? Some are hard to tell apart, others are …. let’s say …. unique! So, not only can poorly implemented (by me) page layouts cause the site visitor anguish, my selection of fonts can do likewise. Seriously, the default fonts seem perfectly fine for general page and post creation, hopefully the site won’t seem discombobulated if there are changes of default fonts forced by each theme or editor. I’m using a Gutenberg editor plugin designed to make those used to tinyMCE editing feel at home.

Trust me, this isn’t the last “testing” post!!
