Edcel.net - mind games

I finally bought a domain for this blog! I wanted to get my own site cause I have another blog that talked about making your own money online; however, I didn’t have first hand experience in creating a site so at least it would add to my credibility that I was able to make one. Not to mention that I’m learning in the process.

Anyway, I was searching for this Garland theme because that’s what my previous free wordpress account had as the theme. I found this one quite simple and clean. The problem I’m facing right now with this Garland theme is that I’m unable to change the color which is supposed to be the main feature according to the ones who created this template.

Garland by Stefan Nagtegaal and Steven Wittens

A flexible, three-column theme with customizable colors. Design based on Themetastic for Drupal by Stefan Nagtegaal and Steven Wittens.

I downloaded the template here:

Garland theme

There seems to be no “wheel” where you can change the color as I can’t seem to find it. What would appear in the Color Customizer tab would just be the boxes where you can change the html color code. But when I tried to save the codes that I put, it would just revert back to the default color settings which is the color of this site.

I’m still waiting for something to happen as the blue color isn’t very appealing to me. Hopefully, I can find a fix for this. I’ve been searching for different forums and blogs and websites to check if I’m not the only one experiencing this. If ever I won’t be able to find a solution, I’ll find other means.

So this is my first post. I’m starting anew. I used to have a journal in Blog-city. But it’s going to close by the end of the year. And les I want to keep that precious two-letter-usernamed blog, I’d have to pay a monthly subscription just to maintain the site; which isn’t an option at all.

I’m deliberating whether I should use Blogspot or Wordpress . To the best of my knowledge, the former has been tried and tested with regard to customizable templates and settings, however I like the freshness, the simplicity and the availability of the pen name of the latter which reminds me of my previous blog. I just wish I can still put a lot of things and adjust this site as I will still be testing some more links in exploring what Wordpress can offer. I also wish this site wouldn’t, by any means, close down for free users like me. I’m still weighing my options though. Hopefully, I will be able to settle here properly.

The author is stuck somewhere in life.

He created this blog because his former blog expired unless he pay for subscription. And since he’s such a bit practical but actually more of a cheapskate, he transferred to another free blog site. He tried searching for other hosts out there, he already found one aside from Wordpress. However, he found the simplicity quite refreshing. So he’s planning to keep this just to for the sake of keeping itself.

Right now, the author is having fun tweaking this free Wordpress blog. He likes to just post some random thoughts that he normally doesn’t want to type in his other blog. Maybe a few pictures or two as well.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading my entries as I also enjoy creating them!

Just wanting to represent.

Because the author realized that having a free Wordpress blog would mean having limited features, he figured he’d buy a domain for himself; hence, edcel.net was born. Hope that anybody who’d drop by would care to holler.
