Thanks for the proposal.
Let me try
Here is how the family blog look like
As stated before:
– Author Avatar, Author name, post link using the date, number of comments and potentially “edit” if it’s your post
– One picture – which I’d love to preconstrain in size (1 for landscape, 1 for portrait)
– One Caption text – no size constraint
– Facebook like reaction counts
So based on this, I am trying, if not too complicated, to simplify the “post-new” page:
– I want to remove the “Saisissez le Titre” text input box
– I would love to remove the add block capability (although I have already limited it to image and text)
– Potentially make it clearer you can enter a caption
– limit or simplify the “post/block” settings right side widget
But as we say in French “The Best is the Good worst Enemy” so with your initial support and the few things I’ve managed to pick here and there, I am ready to publish.

I am at the very very beginning of the design.
Here is what it looks like for the moment: http://www.tabary.net/wordpress/
What I am trying to achieve looks more like this: https://i.ibb.co/hXyxF5f/Screenshot-2021-02-10-141750.jpg
With the individual “blog articles” appearing as a list of tiles (1 or 2 columns I don’t care) but where each tile is the actual picture included in the blog article not a green tile with a title.
In fact, as I’d love to make it even simpler for authors, I would want no title and no category but instead the title being automatically generated using the author name (a plus if I have the avatar icon like on my screenshot).
Contrary to the screen shot, I do not mind having only the picture on the main pages showing the list because I want to activate comments. So the viewer would need to click on the image to go to the article page where they would see the caption attached to the photo and they’ll have the possibility to comment.
I know the possibilities or wordpress and even freedom theme are endless but in my case in fact they are a burden as I want to drive my authors to a very simple one photo, one text publication.
I need the account management, no real need for navigation beyond the classic archive and potentially search by date capability. And that’s it.
