So I’m trying out the 2023 theme from WP, which is much closer to what I want but…still…not at all there. It still wastes a third of the main site page. There’s no left or right gutter content to frame it with nav. I *think* I’ve figured out how to manage the top nav.

When you view a post it crams it up and leaves you with a ton of left/right gutter that is unusable. I guess that DOES work better for portrait-mode (mobile), but if that was the goal why is the main landing template of post blocks so much wider?

I’ve still lost the category links and such, but I know how to get those back, I just have to kind of figure out where they belong. Might be a footer item. Dunno yet.
