This was a complete surprise to me, and a very happy one. I had my usual problem logging in new. The password refused to copy and paste, so I typed it in, and it refused and then, after a minute, changed its mind.
To repeat, this was a complete surprise to me, and a very happy one. SysOps is our CEO, and my only problem is how long she will do it for us. But her sense of honor hopefully will get her to be sure somebody can take over for her before she stops doing the job for us.
I am heading for Joizey in a couple of hours and will be there till Monday.
READ THE COMMENTS. REPORTS are coming in, and they are CRITICAL! The Mantra is being manipulated successfully, the word “diversity” needs to be substituted in some place, and all this is BASED ON EXPERIENCE.
Just a year ago, if I didn’t write something for a day or two, comments would simply STOP. Now the REPORTS and cross-talk keep it going anyway.
This is successful management. This is where I wanted to be all these years.
Keep it going, gang!

The only thing that I find harder is reading comments. Not being able to see a whole line without moving left and right.
[thanks shari, I’m not finding on my end any time when you’d have to scroll left to right to read comments… it’s a fluid template that word-wraps. ?? The guys have another choice coming up but it’s not fluid but still word-wraps — but it will give a scroll bar when resized to very small, the one Pain put below–be prepared for two shocks in one week; sorry Bob, your team is screamin’ on their way here; I load, I don’t choose, so speak up folks 🙂 ]

SysOp-
You have tweaked this theme to look pretty good. The contrast is better and the comments’ font is bigger. This layout is definitely a great improvement from what Bob had before.

Pain: I’m satisfied at this point… discovered a flaw in the new WordPress code which handles images. I was forced to not use normal coding for images and instead hard-code everything as full URLs from *outside* the blog scripts themselves, otherwise they will not display. Not having access to the widget plugin html has really slowed down the process as I find work-arounds.
But NOW, hopefully someone can work on making this compatible with a new WOL homepage look and decide what will and will not be included on that page. No one commented on the other theme with the grassy knoll which would mesh much better, but doesn’t have the flexibility as this theme does.

SysOp: Would it be possible to setup a temporary page such as whitakeronline.org/blog/grassyknoll?
That way more people might see what we are talking about.
