For the Flower Hour, share your images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves and plants, fungus, algae, cacti, blossoms, berries, and wildflowers. Bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome.
“If a purple tulip could talk, she would say something calm, cool and wise, without the flash of a soothing balm.” – Amelia Brown
There are no specific themes for the Flower Hour; just use your own photography.
“I love tulips better than any other spring flower; they are the embodiment of alert cheerfulness and tidy grace…” ~Elizabeth von Arnim
This week, I’m linking to Brian’s Last on the Card, Dawn’s Spring Festival, Johnbo’s Cellpic Sunday, and Lens-Artists: Pick a Quote.
Did You Notice My New Theme?
Thank you for indulging my break… changing my theme to a Block Theme (not to be confused with the block editor) was rather… EASY! I spent a whopping 3 hours on the nuts and bolts of adding widgets to the new sidebar, fumbling with fonts, and fiddling with the menu. It was a non-event, really, but I’m glad I went to the trouble.
If you decide to switch to a Block Theme, my advice is to go through your blog and copy/paste all information from your menu items, widgets, and their corresponding links and details. Don’t forget to note (or create new) the images you like for your About Me page.
It took me longer to curate all the info from my blog site into the Word doc than it did to actually change to the block theme. I did take my blog offline in case I hit snags. No one missed me for those three hours it was offline 😉!
Visit Hugh’s Views and News to see how he switched seamlessly, with some visual “how-to’s”. If you are reading from the Jetpack App on your mobile, it may be hard to tell if anything has changed. If you’re visiting from a computer, you will be able to see the layout and the subtle changes.
I am a Premium WordPress user. My subscription comes with free access to countless Block themes. I am currently using the Carnation theme. This theme offers a “featured article” option, which I’ve never used before.
For more information on Block Themes and the benefits of using them, read this WordPress Article.
