I decided to opt for a new theme for this website. If you blog, you’ll generally purchase or find a free template to use. This is a free WordPress theme/template called Twenty Twelve. I actually had someone else create my old site. I didn’t want to do that because I want to make some changes to this on my on. It means I”ll have to learn how to do a few things. I can do it. Tonight I created the header graphic and inserted it. It wasn’t hard and I can change it easily.

Next up, I want to change the position of the header. I want it to be at the top of the page instead of below the page titles. This will require learning how to change the Style Sheet (CSS). I’ll work on that later this week.

I want the site to be cheerful yet simple, and I love polka dots. My mother called polka dots “poky dots” and I was mortified whenever I heard this come out of her mouth. Now, I get a good laugh and a fond remembrance of my wonderful mother. So…I went with a polka dot background, and I’m inserting them here.

Here’s to Mom and Poky Dots!
