Above this paragraph should be the H1 heading for your web page. Do not use H1 within your blog post area.

Inside of this test data section, you’ll find most of the basic HTML and XHTML and CSS styles that you might use within your WordPress Theme.

This is the H2 Heading

H2 headings should be used to separate chunks of your post text.  It also helps search engines to scan your content easily and serve up keyword-rich content to people searching for you.  Always start with H2 and then if you need to divide up a chunk of content further, use your H3.

This is the H3 Heading

H3 headings aren’t used as often, but can be helpful in breaking down your post content further.  People, and search engines, tend to scan information first and then, if they deem the content to be something they’re interested in, they’ll go back and read the body text.  For more information, check out this Copyblogger article about SEO copywriting techniques that readers love.

Also notice how the links in that paragraph are styled so you can style links within your post content area. Links have three styles. There is the link color. You can also change the link color, along with dozens of other color and typography options, in the Foodie Pro Customizer.

This is the H4 Heading

In this section under the H4 heading, we’re going to look at what the post content, the meat and potatoes of your site looks like. In general, you will have multiple paragraphs, so we will add another paragraph so you can adjust the spacing in between them to the look you want.

Paragraphs are not just for typing your blog babble, they can also hold frame and hold other information within your content area to help make the point you want to make in your writing. For instance, you will commonly have three types of lists.

  • General Lists using the <ul> tag
  • Ordered Lists using the <ol> tag
  • Definition Lists using the <dl> tag
    • Definition Lists use two other tags to generate the list:
      • <dt> sets up the word or phrase to be “defined”, usually set in bold, and
      • <dd> sets up the definition, which is usually in a normal or slightly smaller font and indented under the definition.
  • And that’s the end of the lists

And we’ve just tested a paragraph before and after a general list along with a nested list to help you see what at least three levels of the list will look like. Make sure that each level of the list is styled to match your specific needs. You might want to use the default disc or circle, or you might want to add graphic bullets to your list, too.

This is the H5 Heading

While the H5 heading is not always used, maybe you might find a need for it if your H1 and H2 and H3 headings are used. You might need one to two levels of subheadings in your post content, so this one gives you another option.

We also need to look at the other two lists and then add some images and other styles to flesh out your WordPress site.

  1. You need to do this first.
  2. You need to do this second.
    • You could do this in between.
    • Or give this a try, too.
  3. But this is the third and last thing to do.

And here is another paragraph to show the relationship between the various parts and pieces.

This is another H3 Heading

Let’s take a look at how images work in the theme. Typically, most food bloggers are going to use full-width centered images within the body of a post, but we’ll explore the right and left alignment options here just in case. This photo is using the medium image size and is aligned to the right. In order to clear the space below this image, I’m going to use the “clear” div class in the text editor for this post. Otherwise, things would look very misaligned.

This image is also using the medium image size option, but is aligned to the left. Notice the appropriate amount of padding surrounding the images? That’s Foodie Pro at work for you!

A centered image is a little different. It is centered in the middle and the text is pushed above and below it. This is the way we prefer food bloggers to use images: full-width and centered.

How to add the CSS styles for images is discussed in the Codex article, Using Images.

Testing Font Looks – H3 Heading

You will need to test the looks of the different font styles, too. This is bold and THIS IS BOLD. This is italic and THIS IS ITALIC. This is bold and italic and THIS IS BOLD AND ITALIC. This is code and THIS IS CODE. And now let’s look at what the PRE tag, also known as the preformatted tag, looks like:

This is the pre tag.
It should be formatted as written
     so if you add spaces to the front of the line
  it will show the spaces and the <code> as written

This should be back to the normal paragraph style and we hope you have been paying attention to the margins and padding around each element, including the paragraph, so you can position things appropriately to the rest of the content.

Your CSS Here – H3 Heading

Let’s look at the blockquote, one of the most common tags used in most blogs. It is designed to “frame” a quote from another blog, website, or reference that you are “quoting” from. For the most part, there are three examples of usage:

This is a simple quote. It is either preceded or followed by a link within the text to the credited source. A blockquote must be designed to stand out from the rest of the text content, but it does not have to “really” stand out, just separate itself from the content so we know it’s not your words.

Each website is unique with it’s own look and feel for the various parts and pieces. This cut and paste section looks only at what you might have within your content section. So if you will have boxes for lists or little aside information, you will need to add them so you can see how they will look in the overall page layout.

Some elements in a WordPress Theme are controlled by the style sheet, while others are controlled by the Template files. Try to work on as much as you can from the style sheet first, then you can mess with the template files.

Remember, any changes you make to the style sheet and template files will be not available if you change themes. If you want them carried over, you will need to copy and paste them into the new Theme folder.

I almost gave up.  Since my last post I have been raw about 20% of the time.  This weekend I decided that I can’t live like this anymore.  I have to commit.  Yesterday I was raw except a cookie.  Today I was raw except 6 shrimp on my salad and a hand full of dark chocolate m&ms.  This is ok.  I’m giving myself time to get back from 20% to 80-90%.  Sigh.  Smile.

It’s the end of my 6th 100% raw day and I just weighed in at 176.  YAY!!!  I was supposed to go out to eat with a friend today at this poetry event.  I went.  They had free champagne and cake in addition to the fact that it was held at a great restaurant.  I didn’t eat anything there.  I just…passed on it. It wasn’t that much of a draw.  Sure, I thought about it.  In the end, I just said no and it wasn’t a thought.

I took a look at my record of weight.  I weighed 191 in August…around mid august.  That means I’m down 15 pounds.  I’m proud of myself.

Day 23 ended with no meat, no sugar…just a big salad with sunflower seeds, grapes, and some olives later that night. Maybe my body wanted some fat. I had a lil headache but it passes. I’m accustomed to having chocolate when I’m on my monthly (TMI…it’s been different. I can really tell I’ve been eating differently. You ladies know what I mean.), so it was a bit of a struggle after work. Struggle in the mind. I just went home…no stops. It works out better that way.

Day 25

Weight: didn’t feel like weighing myself today.

Today I’ve had an apple, my usual big lunch salad, and a box of rasberries. No candy, nothing that would have me tripping out later. Oh I’m such a creature of habit. i bought a new receipe e-book yesterday from Raw Freedom Community. I can’t wait to make some of the stuff!!! OH my goodness. The food looks so good in the photos. I need some options. I realize that I’m getting bored. I don’t want to be cooking everynight, but I need some options.

I’ve also been watching Louise Hay’s You Can Change Your Life Series on YouTube.  I love it.  She says the key to good living is to love yourself.  I think she’s right.  It’s hard though to look in the mirror and say “I love and accept me right now, as I am right now”.  I want to be able to say that.  It’s not just about weight, but that has been a major issue for me since I was 8 (my first “diet” per doctor’s orders).  Oh…the journey…the journey.

I need some lotion. I am so dry. My hands and my legs have shown signs of dryness. That would be ASH. You know what I’m talking about sistas and brothers. Amen. I love Nubian Heritage products and I’m about to slather on some of their chocolate smelling cocoa butter lotion after this post. LOL

Yesterday I had a package of fresh raspberries for dinner. Wasn’t that hungry. I was on the phone all night talking to my best friend about a situation with some other of our friends that pissed me off. There was a birthday party and some how we weren’t invited. So high school, right. I know. So, I bitched about it and I’m over it. However, I was proud that I didn’t run out for any nasty goodies out of frustration and hurt. Very proud of myself. Talking it out works much better than eating the pain away. Who knew?

Weight: 184

What I’ve eaten so far:
Green Smoothie: Spinach, frozen mango, 1 banana, frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of walnuts
Large salad with sunflower seeds, olives, mushrooms, carrots and olive oil

I had some stronger hunger pains today right before lunch.  They were strongest so far and not terrible, but strong.  I’ve noticed my skin is clearing up and looks more healthy.  I have an insulin imbalance that causes a dark coating on certian areas of my skin like my neck.  That is looking better today as well, although as I was cleansing and decreasing my sugar intake during the month of September, that had been getting lighter and lighter.  I feel good.  OH and…2 movements of the bowels so far today (I know…TMI…but it’s part of the cleansing process).

Not thinking about and worrying about what I’m going to eat or not eat makes me feel so FREE.  That is one of the best things about this life change.  I suggest that you not tell an whole lot of people about going raw when you start, because if people were asking and questioning me right now…it would make me think about food and what I was “missing”.  I’m sure as my body changes I will get plenty of extra attention directed at how I’m transforming and looking so beautiful.  LOL  Right now I’m focused and happy.
