When ready, we can think about web site engine. There is a bunch of options. For blog-type sites (like this one) WordPress is the most recognized standard, so I didn\u2019t hesitate too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My host, DailyRazor.com, at my request, added the <em>WordPress Toolkit<\/em> to my cPanel. When activated, it didn\u2019t ask me much and in no time and in a few clicks I had my new WordPress site up and running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/writingagame.com\/img\/b02\/c00\/01.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This (above) is the first screenshot from this web site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I logged in with provided by installer credentials. At the first glance, interface looks pretty clear and self-explanatory. I decided to start from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/writingagame.com\/img\/b02\/c00\/02.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While browsing through tons of impressive samples, I stumbled upon the &#8220;Nirmala&#8221; theme by IndoCreativeMedia. Beautiful minimalistic design, just what I need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/writingagame.com\/img\/b02\/c00\/03.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installed. Activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I set <em>Homepage Settings-&gt; Your homepage displays -&gt; Your latest posts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fairly quickly and easily I added my first post. And after that I stuck:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can\u2019t change pages size (too wide)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can\u2019t set a thumbnail image for the post on a home page. Adding a \u201cfeatured image\u201d also adds it In front of the post itself (not where I want it).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can\u2019t add a simple border to images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have to actually upload images instead of simply using &#8220;img src&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CAN\u2019T EVEN SIMPLY COPY-PASTE TEXT FROM WORD DOCUMENT TO THE POST without breaking the font.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Well&#8230; You have to be a professional to customize WordPress templates, including fixing PHP code and CSS. The problem is HOW to find what to fix and WHERE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, some things I figured out by myself, such as how to copy-paste without screwing up font size, or how to use &#8220;img src&#8221; instead of uploading images (turned out that WordPress HAS an option to insert custom HTML).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the rest\u2026 Well, professional help definitely wouldn\u2019t hurt\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"mb-2\">Now, when we have what to publish, it\u2019s time to think about a web site.
