Testing the WordLand Baseline Theme
May 5, 2025 by Scott Hanson
My answers to the questions from May 4, 2025:
- As I understand it, with a Business plan on wordpress.com you can install any third-party theme.
- Looking at the WordLand timeline, every post has a headline of author name and date, whether there is a title or not. That looks more balanced that simply having no headline for titleless posts.
- I think that whether WordLand can add CSS to a site or a post depends on the WordPress.com REST API. At first glance I don't see anything about styles. On a self-hosted site it would be possible to extend the API to accept CSS (ChatGPT), but would WordLand to access that over wordpress.com?
- OK
- OK, we can try that
- OK
Other problems I've noticed
- Block quotes are not styled properly (they are indented, but no line to the left).
- On the home page for untitled posts, there is no link to the story page for the post.
- Bold italics were not working, but do now (fonts issue).
- Inline code markup
like this
isn't very distinguishable from normal text (issue on GitHub).
