I’ve wanted to make some changes to my blog’s layout for quite a while now. I would like to either find a theme or make changes to the current theme to increase the size of the posts from 618 to something more like 700 or 750. I feel that the gaps on the sides which are blank are needed but they can be decreased to something less than what they are currently.

I also wanted to make changes to the font colours and font sizes but I rarely do sit down and work out the look and feel of the website. I used to spend a lot more time and effort on getting the look changed but I can’t be bothered much these days. Anyways I did make one change recently to the blog and that is what you see below:

I changed the plugin for sharing the posts to various social media sites. I made the change to the slightly lengthier (but not by much) buttons that you see on the posts and above on the gif. I uninstalled the previous one I had and after looking around for a plugin found and installed Simple Social Media Share Buttons. Yes, that is the name of the app.

Simple Social Buttons adds ( with lots of options like Sidebar, inline, above and below the posts content, on photos, popups, fly ins ) an advanced set of social media sharing buttons to your WordPress sites, such as: Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn and Pinterest. I habe only added the ones I used regularly.

Take a look and tell me what you think.
