Due, I was, for a theme change. Ribosome seemed the trick. Here are my very simple theme changes.
Default Enhanced, my last theme from 2009, appealed to my simplicity, but let me down in some ways. I did add to the css for a dropcap and paragraph indent, and did correct the list issues. Otherwise the theme stood the test of time. The change agent was that it lacked responsiveness and was difficult on mobile devices. It was time.
Simple I am, unless there is complexity required. Why mess with simple if it works and you need nothing else, I say. Such is the case with the WordPress theme “Default Enhanced”, now seemingly defunct. I still like it, so I changed it. Here are my documented changes.
