WARNING TO DA BOYS: This post contains explicit mention of ladies undergarments. But in a hum-drum practical kinda way, sorry.
I like my blog theme. Haven’t used it to its full functionality yet, I’m a newbie so still learning. What I didn’t like was looking for it. It was an arduous, time-consuming, and overwhelming task. Until I got my tech-savvy 20 yr old daughter to help. Then it was easy. I gave her a wish list from my window shopping of other sites I liked, and made her go find the right one for me. I’ll likely change it one day but for now I am quite content with it.
The assignment for Day 5 in Blogging 101 is to Love Your Theme: try out 3+ other themes including one you would never use. Okay, I will just because I try to be a good student. But not until after I get over the stress it causes me to even think about going through the process again, especially without my kid around. Knowing me, I’ll adopt the theme I don’t like, mess up my settings, and lose posts.
Thinking about the assignment though reminded me of another task I don’t like to do, but must on occasion: shop for a new bra. Did reading that make you squint your eyes and raise your eyebrows? Here’s how I see some similarities …
- They both have to “fit just right”: suitable width and cup size; tailored layout and functionality.
- Don’t want something about them that shouldn’t be there: no underarm muffin tops; no over-the-top irrelevant embed.
- Good to have a little cleavage showing: maybe a little padding or a push-up; maybe some colour or whimsy. But not so they distract from the core: the person; the content.
“First rule of cleavage: it’s not how low you go, but where and when you show.”

- Variety is the spice of life: going a bit risqué or with a different style; adding some videos or reblogging a follower’s post.
- Material matters: comfortable and looks right under the clothes it will be worn with; naturally written and blends well with its surroundings.
- Consider from all angles: fitting rooms with multiple surrounding mirrors; viewed on different devices.
- Even the smallest ones need support: underwires or sporty fit; WordPress’ Forums and Community Pool.
- Easy to use: effortless clasps and simple strap adjustments; fluid navigation through menus and categories.
- Helpful to get expert advice: having a bra-fitter do proper measurements and make suggestions; asking others to measure your site up and provide feedback.
And most importantly …
- DRESS FOR SUCCESS:
I’ll let you interpret the bra relation to success in your own way; be a “Tenacious Blogger”.

Love her squeals of delight! Haven’t watched the movie in forever, think I’ll do that soon with my “already getting bored on summer break” 15 yr old daughter!

Good reference to a good movie!
I hate wearing bras. Don’t during the summer months at all! Not even when I go out in public. Was blessed not to take after my mother’s side of the family’s cleavage. We are talking double letters here!
Using you children for computer help is a good way to create a family bonding moment! She gets to be the teacher.
Great post. Keep posting!

Thanks Jeanette. I’m (almost) with you on the summer hiatus. First thing off when I get home at least. And yeah, loving the moments when my kids get to teach their old lady something. 🙂 Marianne
