a little different today.\u00a0 The changes were cosmetically minor, so don&#8217;t feel bad if you didn&#8217;t see a difference.\u00a0 While the changes will seem minor to you, they are tremendous to me!\u00a0 Ever since I launched this blog, I despised the WordPress &#8220;theme&#8221; I was using.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t like the fonts, the space available for posts, the blue and orange (not much of a Florida Gator fan myself), and some other things.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been looking for a new WordPress theme for ages and finally stumbled across one I liked this past weekend!\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below is a screen shot showing how ONCE UPON A GEEK looked previously.\u00a0 Notice the serif fonts, the blue and orange colors, the amount of wasted space in each margin, and the narrow width of the &#8220;Calvin and Jobs&#8221; image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Once Upon a Geek old layout\" src=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/images\/ouag_old.jpg\" alt=\"Once Upon a Geek old layout\" width=\"700\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below is a screen shot of that same post using the new WordPress theme.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Notice the bold title ONCE UPON A GEEK, the lack of serif fonts, the blue and yellow contrast, the lack of wasted space in the margins, and most importantly the width of the &#8220;Calvin and Jobs&#8221; image.\u00a0 Up until now I&#8217;ve been restricted to displaying images at 525 pixels wide.\u00a0 This new theme will allow me to display images up to 700 pixels wide.\u00a0 The previous width was so small, many images just didn&#8217;t display well.\u00a0 I&#8217;m really looking forward to utilizing this new space!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Once Upon a Geek new layout\" src=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/images\/ouag_new.jpg\" alt=\"Once Upon a Geek new layout\" width=\"700\" height=\"414\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve had to make some adjustments to the new theme to get it just the way I want it.\u00a0 Also, some older posts might look awkward now since the width change.\u00a0 If you stumble across any issues with the new look and feel, please drop me a line.\u00a0 I&#8217;d appreciate the assistance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As always, thanks for reading ONCE UPON A GEEK!\u00a0 Stay geeky!<\/p>\n<div
