Bitacora is the WordPress theme this blog is using. I have a love and hate relationship with it.
When time permits I plan to start writing a review on what I like and don’t like about it on this page. – UPDATE – I have started writing pros and cons. This page should be considered in draft mode. I update it when something comes to mind to add.
Pros:
- WORKS WITH DARK READER (SORT OF) – Dark Reader is a browser extension that turns websites into “dark mode”. The Bitacora theme works ok when using it for reading your site, however not so great when editing your site.
Cons:
- NOT AS WIDE AS I WOULD LIKE – I prefer blog templates that take up at least 75% of on-screen width in a browser up to 17.3 inches. I wish this theme had a wider width in browsers. It’s almost too narrow for my liking. I did figure out that the width can be changed, but on WordPress.com requires upgrading to the Premium plan. That plan is $100 a year, and so I will not be making any changes that require a hosting plan above the free option since this site is a burner blog. It’s nice however to know that can be done if I ever change my mind and want to try it.
