Naturally, I spent like\u00a0four hours this weekend tweaking the CSS and other files for the new theme. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Still, it mostly boiled down to some very minor changes to just two or three files, so if I ever update down the road it should be a lot less work than before. I believe all of the original functionality remains intact.<\/p>\n<p>The important question is, is it a change for the better? There are still a few edges to be sanded (in particular, a lot of older posts don&#8217;t have an associated image, so they&#8217;re just a big white square on the list page), but overall I quite like it. I tried hard to keep the same clear and concise navigation &#8212; I don&#8217;t want to bloat the site for no reason, just give it a new coat of paint &#8212; but I&#8217;d appreciate hearing your thoughts on the new theme, especially if you notice anything that looks broken or just ugly.<\/p>\n<p>With the new appearance mostly up and running, now it&#8217;s back to new content!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you enjoyed this post and others like it, might you consider the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TheMookNet?ty=h\">Game Geekery Patreon<\/a><em>?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Howdy Folks!
