So I figured out what's up w/ the new colors.. they're from the current "Modern" color scheme, which has been around forever. For WP 7.0 they are swapping the "Default" fresh blue palette w/ the harsher "Modern" palette. Good news is you can change it back via your user profile.

Perfect example of how too many ads completely ruin a web page (before and after).
Temp-email web page before ads loaded, nice clean simple designTemp-email web page after ads have loaded, complete mess and UI/UX nightmare

After 8 months living out of a van and doing the whole digital nomad thing all over the US, I'm taking a break for a while and setting up an office back in WA state. I thank God for His grace and protection during my travels, and want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 🌟 🎉

Recent awesome review for my free contact form plugin ☀️ wordpress.org/plugins/cont... #WordPress #plugins
Screenshot of a review left at WordPress.org for Contact Form X plugin. It says: "A Lightweight Contact Form You Can Trust + awesome dev - I’ve used his plugins before, paid and unpaid, and they are just top quality across the board. With so many endless bloated form plugins, this is like a stiletto cutting through the muck. And now it has support for Cloudflare Turnstile! Keeping it completely up to date. I have no idea why it doesn’t have 10k downloads, but it should." 5 stars

Las Vegas was chaotic, loud, and packed with people. Sensory overload on all fronts. Didn't really do anything other than walk around downtown and then the strip. Did manage to take a few photos before returning to the hotel and sleeping for 12 hours. Phil 4:7
