I’m not griping (I might be lol) but WordPress.com needs to get a handle on their theme options. I’m trying to set up another website (this one – OHYIDI) among the many others I own, and I’m just not liking any of the themes they offer. The majority of the new block themes offered do not make an actual blog. These are splash page junk. That’s why I learned how to turn the Twenty Twenty Three theme into an actual blog layout, and often go back to the Colinear theme when setting up a new site. Colinear is still an amazing theme after many years, but it can be janky when trying to use the new Gutenburg blocks for widgets. Yeah I know I could spend $300 and go find a template at WordPress.org to upload that might work better for blogging… but I also know WordPress.com has the capacity and room on their network to go over there themselves and pick out some better free themes for use. Ok rant over. P.S. Don’t even dare try using the Minecraft theme WordPress.com has on offer as a free theme, unless you are 8 years old and not a serious blogger. I tried it just for fun, and found it to be a headache when trying to write out this post.
Thanks for reading OHYIDI!
If you are on the WordPress.com ecosystem and recently liked one of my blog posts, thank you for that as well. I am checking my notifications, and I plan to add a special page or post on my site soon where I can start collecting and sharing links to the best bloggers who like my posts. It will be sort of like a blogroll list specifically for this purpose to both say thanks and to keep up with some of the great pages and blogs some of you have out there.
