A New Look

An occasional reader of The Burrow commented unfavorably about that big picture that takes up the whole screen.  That was the motivation I needed to take the time and correct the situation. 

The interface is uncomfortable.  Not much is where I intuited it would be.  I found a theme that made me happy - plain, simple, a white background, and a way to make the font bigger.  Unfortunately, it did not have a way to reply to comments.  I couldn't find a work around.  

Organizing that failed theme took more than enough time.  I moved on.  I moved further on.  I went back and forth between several bold and bright ideas.  Time passed.  The options began to blur into one another.  

Did that one have a way to remove the picture?  It did, but finding the drop down menu where that was lurking was no mean feat.  

There was the matter of The Burrow ... the words in the header, not the content below.  Did I like one of a squadrillion colors and/or some kind of pattern in one of those same squadrillion colors behind the title?  And what font would I choose to represent my wit, whimsy, and profundities?  

I'm a person who takes stationary personally  I'm afflicted with a deep seated need to be sure what I choose is just right.  Thus, I spent too much time view clicking and ctrl + tab'ing.  Readability, an upbeat vibe without being silly, not too charming to overwhelm the content - there was much to consider. 

When serif became indistinguishable from non I knew I'd had enough.  My brain needed a cleanse, a sorbet, a walk around the block.

What it got was a quick look at the last saved iteration as I clicked Apply.   I hope you like it.

I KNOW THE FONT IS TOO SMALL......
