Labor Day weekend

I have plans on being in the Adirondacks during the Labor Day break. I still have to work on the necessary items I want to have with me and yet keep the weight as low as possible. I have taken all the items in my backpack from my last trip, other than the clothing and food, and weight each one separately. I will post that information on here when I get home tonight from work.

Working on Website

I am working on the site’s layout and organization. I want it to be efficient for both you and me. The theme is new and I like it as it is how its name Minimatica implies, minimalist. I hate a cluttered page and that is where I felt my other theme was going to take the site.

I am still orienting myself to the functions of the new theme. The slider at this time is set to chronologically list my posts as I add them. I will change how that is used later, but it works for the time being. Since approximately half my family may read in Spanish I felt it was important that I create a dual language setup. I have found a nice plug-in that allows the user to select the language in which they would like to read the pages. The default is set to English as this is my preferred language to write in. The translations are done through both Goggle and Bing and it seems to do a fairly nice job of it. As no translator is perfect it is a plus that I can edit any translations I feel are inaccurate. Please bear with me as I learn to use the editing functions of the new plug-in.

I will try not to let this put a damper on additional posts. Thank you for your patience 🙂
