I have spent some time today working on the formatting and templates and layouts and related things. I have had some troubles getting things to do what I want and expect, but I hope I have the set up like I want it now. If it&#8217;s not to my liking, I&#8217;ll probably leave this post alone for the greater part. But if I need to make adjustments to the settings of my site I will, and that is liable to change everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s interesting how things are interrelated using these tools of WordPress and Elementor. It&#8217;s pretty fascinating to me while at times frustrating. I am enjoying learning though. I think I would rather stick to photography though, and keep my web developing on amateur status for now. This platform may not even be around much longer unfortunately. I have been reading about how the two guys that started WordPress are having disagreements and fighting each other in court and the arena of public opinion. It&#8217;s unfortunate that I started using this software because it has been around so long, is used to create a large percentage of of the websites on the web, and is open sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder just how long open source licensees are going to last. It seems once a product gets big enough to make money then things start to get ugly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a double experiment.
