About the blog
April 3 2020
This blog now concentrates on the present journey, Africa but you can still find the earlier posts on the SITEMAP.
I am no longer using 'blog style pages'. All new pages are built using Weebly's standard pages.
Am using what is now known as 'Infinite Scrolling'. Every post is previewed on the home page with the latest post at the top. The title text is linked to the said post, as is the image, if there is one and there is the READ MORE link.
All fonts have been extensively modified within the html/css coding part of the Weebly Editor. The size, colour, letter-spacing, line-spacing, margins. All edited in someway. The only thing I have to do at page level is to make the text bold.
I learned how to tweak the coding from studying EditorTricks (formerly WeeblyTricks) and then a whole load of trial and error. Thanks to Bernadette and Adam on the Weebly Community for the tips too, 'specially the column lock app!!

The whole blog has been designed to look it's best on an Android smartphone, so sorry to those who are viewing from other devices and you think that the layout looks shit.
