In an attempt to make my new blog theme exploration almost as obnoxious as my poetry publication squealing, here is yet another post on my newest tweak to Top of JC’s Mind.
In my quest to discover what happened to my link to my About page, I found the menu feature of my new theme. I had never done much with menus in my prior themes, but decided to expand my horizons.
Besides the About link and a Posts link to my main page, I added three category links. One is poetry, which will include anything that I have put in that category, so, while links to my poems are there, there are also links to other poets’ work and anything that relates to my writing, groups, workshops, submissions, etc.
The two other category links are to my posts in the two series of Linda’s Life in Progress blog to which I regularly contribute, One-Liner Wednesday and Stream of Consciousness Saturday.
I was pleased to discover that the new menu links appear above the new header image, which has the happy effect of making the blog title and tagline font size more proportional and intentional-looking. They seemed puny and forlorn before.
So, yay! So much progress (that I wasn’t actually planning to make today)!
Comments welcome!

congratulation to the new discovery 🙂 I still try to get to grips with my wordpress.org theme at “A Spirit of Healing”….

Good for you for diving off the cliff to explore a new theme. I know how scary it is and what a PIA it is to set everything up. I am very particular and worked hours on my blog’s new theme to be exactly as I want it. Best of luck with yours, Joanne!!! ❤

Looks really great, Joanne! Nice and crisp and clean. I should settle on something similar myself one of these days. I’m honoured to have my prompts up there! 😀

Thanks, Linda! Because I feature words more than images, I like having black print on white background with a nice amount of space for posts.
When I was trying to figure out what to put in my menu, it made sense to feature categories with a goodly number of posts and views. One-Liner Wednesday and Stream of Consciousness Saturday fit the bill on both scores!

LOL, K! If you only knew the precarious nature of my old(er) desktop that houses my photos. But I did appreciate your advice and was happy to find a photo that I could crop to the proper size.
