Thank you very much for your detailed response JNashHawkins! 🙂
Half of what you see – like, you think you know what you’re seeing but it’s not necessarily the whole truth. e.g. the “perfect” family in public, but not so behind the scenes.
I really like the TwentySixteen theme as the layout works for me. I’ve looked at the others and this is definitely what I want once I iron out the issues.
Thank you for the meta data link. I tried this exact link and the texts in CSS but it came up full of errors.
I will research the Child Theme avenue further. Thank you very much for that.
I’m also wondering if it’s anything to do with the device I’m using. I’ve set the blog up on my iPad and can’t see the author, date and comments section on there. However when I looked at the site on my iPhone there was a “leave a comment” link under the tags and when I clicked that the author name, date and comments boxes came up…
So confusing. What can I say? I’m a technophobe who wants to write a blog! haha
