This assignment is entitled ‘Love Your Layout.” WordPress allows the site owner to do a bunch of potentially cool things to glam posts. ‘Glam’ is a new word I learned from the youngest granddaughter who uses glitter to glam up her projects. This post has nothing to do with lighthouses. I love lighthouses.

This area once held a photo of a lighthouse. It was cool but I deleted it because it weighed too much – in other words, a photo counts against storage space that I need to tell stories. Someday, maybe I’ll have unlimited storage or something like that and I’ll add images to my posts. For now, you’ll have to imagine a very cool lighthouse of your choice.

I can also do a whole bunch more stuff. I can give you a button to push:

Of course, I have to link it to something and then, probably, give you a way to return. I haven’t and, for this post, I won’t. Maybe another time when it’s needed.

I can change the format of the post. Three columns? Yup. Photos down the side? Yup. All sorts of nifty things. I haven’t picked up a camera or my drawing pencils in a very long time so many of the options are aimed at those creatives. I’m weaving – pin loom squares for a large blanket – and sewing – mostly making costumes, fixing costumes, or other kid-required stitchery – but none of those things are interesting.

Many of the formatting items are the things that used to live in a formatting area that I can’t find since I switched to block formatting. Well, duh. I switched so all that stuff has to be somewhere. You click on a plus sign at the top of the page or whenever you start a new paragraph, er, block and you’ve got all sorts of options running down the left side of the page. Now I know what the plus means and how to get to its secrets I’m confident about what I’m doing.

Which is the point of this exercise. Yay. See you again soon.
