cambridgeport90[ Would having the background in gray be a better contrast, then?
# cambridgeport90[ Or light blue .. that would be pretty.
# [chrisbergr] Such vivid backgrounds are always distracting the eyes a lot. especially when you read a lot of text on it.
# cambridgeport90[ Do you have a suggestion for a good one?
# [chrisbergr] I'd suggest you to make the background of your header red with white text on it. For the content section just choose a decent light gray with dark gray next to black text on it. Highlight the links with a royal blue.
# [chrisbergr] and the headlines can also go with blue or red
# cambridgeport90[ That is perfect! I need to use that link you sent, so that ought to be useful.
# [chrisbergr] Or, if you don't look for the maximum saturated red, you can use a lighter, less saturated red as the background
# cambridgeport90[ Are there any links you can think of that puts this into a WP context?
# [chrisbergr] I check if I can find anything.
# cambridgeport90[ This is going to be fun, I think. Don't be surprised if you see a post about a blindy's adventures in CSS.
# [chrisbergr] There's nothing like I hoped it would be. Apparently it's always assumed that those who make adjustments to the layout can see. There are some Pages like https://codex.wordpress.org/Site_Design_and_Layout but this is way to generic and focus on other things. https://codex.wordpress.org/Developing_a_Colour_Scheme here is a list of a lot of external pages providing some nice colors. But all that doesn't help if one don't know the
# [chrisbergr] classnames to add the colors on.
# [chrisbergr] I'd love to read the post about your adventures in CSS btw 🙂
# cambridgeport90[ shweet. Thanks for all this stuff. You have no idea how helpful this is. More fun than hiring someone.
# [chrisbergr] Glad I can help a little. My offer stands, if you need the list of the relevant classnames, I do that gladly. But tomorrow. I need to go to bed now, it's 2:33 AM now 🙂
# cambridgeport90[ I would love them. And get some sleep.
# [chrisbergr] Okay, read you tomorrow. bye

# cambridgeport90[ I am also curious which plugin people are using to bring their social networking activity into their site? tried Lifestream, and the activation causes a fatal error. I would have to get it again, but I don't have the exact text right now.

# [xavierroy] Social networking activity? You mean tweets and instagram posts?
# cambridgeport90[ Indeed. For those times when I can't use my site first for whatever reason. I might try the keyring plugin as well.
# [xavierroy] I use the keyring plugin a lot especially for Instagram
# [xavierroy] and fitbit (though i've been having trouble with that)

# cambridgeport90[ Well ... I would no longer recommend the LifeStream plugin for Wordpress, and I am going to edit that Wiki page. Twitter account for the plugin last tweeted nine years ago.

[dougbeal] GWG: Do you write posts in Firefox? I’ve found if I’m editing, previewing, and edit in another tab to copy some text, firefox/wordpress looses my post with no draft created.
