  Have reverted to Chateau as being (I thought !) the least problematical. Pfuh ! Check these …

  — blockquote looks as if it should also have a margin-left: I can neither find nor fix;

  — want to make meta Category but cannot:
  `.post-info a {
  font-weight: 600 !important;
  }`

  — ditto with meta Tags:
  `.post-extras p {
  font-weight: 600 !important;
  }`

  — ditto with content font size:
  `.post-entry {
  font-size: 15px !important;
  }`

  — ditto with sidebar widget list-style:
  `.sidebar-widget li {
  list-style: inside disc !important;
  }`

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Bugger me: I forgot … Apologies, mate.

  (CRIKEY ! – some thunder …!)

  I haven’t left it up, because it there’s so much I want to fix. Is it possible for you to, say, tell me if you know of any problems with this theme that are known and need workarounds ?

  That’d be nifty …

  If not, soon as I get up at whatever ungodly Lui Stringer makes me do so, I’ll see if you’ve thrown up your hands and said “Good grief, you idiot ! – unless you have it on-line there is NOZZINK I can do !” …

  I’ve changed it: the troublesome theme is now in place, and I think I’m losing my mind: no sooner do I have a CSS change made than it goes again …
  What’s the secret ?

  And I am totally unable to create a follow blog by email widget.
  It shows only the title !!!!!
  Is this theme INSANE, or am I ?!

  Forget it, Rich: I can see you’re up to your ears.
  Besides – I’ve rissoled all those other-ys and gone back to Newsy, at least for a while. If ONLY it would give me archived categories in excerpts, I’d be laughing.
  But I ain’t.

  Well, at least with Newsy you aren’t starting from scratch.

  One thing we could do, would be to hide the entry content on the archive page types and just leave the meta data and the title. If you want to take a peek at that solution, here would be the CSS.

  .archive .entry-content {
      display: none;
  }

  Oh, Rich …
  I simply don’t know what to say.
  But I do again now ! [grin]
  That is SO EXACTLY what I wanted that I can scarcely give utterance to it !!! Would you please tell your family that a fat old lady who drives you mad (although you protest this ain’t so, I know) is going to adopt you ?
  You may stay living at home, out of the goodness of my heart … [GRIN]

  THANK YOU THREE THOUSAND TIMES, RICH !!!!
