Shiny New Website Continued

So I’ve fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole setting up my new site. In particular geeky fashion, once I started digging into the update I found a lot of shiny new toys to play with. To give some perspective: The last time I dug into CSS for this site, it was still on version 2, and compatibility with Internet Explorer was still a thing. No my wife is giving me the side-eye because I’m watching CSS website design videos on YouTube.

This time, at least, all the tweaking I’m doing shouldn’t break the theme or my plugins, and I shouldn’t be locked out of updating things as new versions come out. The most frustrating thing so far is keeping the site responsive. I don’t want to exclude the half of the traffic using their phones, but occasionally I get in situations where the various tools that show me a phone view of the side don’t render things exactly the same. . .

The most fun thing so far has been playing with the Smart Slider plugin, which I’ve used three times on my front page.
