Just use the damn defaults!
I have been making websites for myself and others for 10+ years now. Trust me when I say that you can waste a lot of time messing with the default settings.

Well daily posting didn’t last long 🤦♂️. To be fair I had this draft saved yesterday… Uncle Tom’s Cabin was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe and was written primarily to influence white Christian women. It is credited as having helped to advance the abolishionist cause but has since received criticism for perpetuating stereotypes. Per Conversations […]
