Old members may be a bit surprised at the new look (called the theme)\u00a0of the THMS Blog. One thing in this world that is constant is change. So I am just keeping the trend going.<\/p>\n
Actually it is a bit more than that. WordPress (the software that runs the blog) just came out with a new major version release which is 3.0. You know the old story, it\u2019s more powerful, more features, all the \u201cbigger and better\u201d hype. Well, it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
The problem is my old theme isn\u2019t fully compatible with all the new features of v3.0. A theme is what creates look and feel of the blog.\u00a0A theme\u00a0has little if anything to do with how it runs.\u00a0 I switched to the new default WP theme called \u201c2010\u201d or Twenty Ten, obviously the name has to do with the year this is. It is so new it had a defect where it cut off the title of the top post the first time it is edited. So now I am using theme named Suffusion<\/strong> with 100’s of more options.<\/p>\n The masthead picture is one I created myself from a photo of the mini lathe making smoke from turning a bar of cast iron. So like a bride\u2019s wedding gown, it is a bit of something old to go with something new. (I am looking for borrowed and blue<\/span>…)<\/p>\n Themes are easy to change. We\u2019ll see how long Suffusion<\/strong><\/em> holds on\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A theme is what creates look and feel of the blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77778,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[71,69,70],"class_list":["post-1163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asides","tag-71","tag-change","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/77778"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.thehobbyistmachineshop.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
