Grok AI assistant busy at work. — Grok, my AI sidekick, co-writing & co-coding my WordPress blog & X posts!

Grok AI assistant is now my go-to for writing blog posts and coding projects, making tough tasks easy. As a coding novice, tackling the customization of my WordPress blog—powered by the premium Multipurpose Blog Pro theme with its Child theme active—felt like climbing a mountain blindfolded. Enter Grok, the AI assistant from xAI, who became my co-writer, co-coder, and downright *AMAZING* sidekick over two days of intense work. From tweaking the logo bar color to styling the homepage post sections, Grok guided me through the chaos of the “Inspect” tool with patience and precision.

Here’s how it went down.

Basic HTML code for commenting on sites where it is not offered.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. I don’t comment on most sites I visit, but have some favorites that I visit every day, and comment on a couple of them. Some have Disqus, others have their own comment tools, and some have none at all. The above Pic has the basic HTML that I … Read more

WordPress Additional CSS – using Bing AI and ‘Experimentation’

August 12, 2025February 25, 2024 by Karmi

I’ve had this Multipurpose Blog Pro theme & its Multipurpose Blog Pro Child for almost 16 months now, and have tried to change the Quote Style blockquotes from text-align: center -to- text-align: left every since.

Love the theme—except for the blockquote issue, and also an issue with the Bulleted list not working right (bullets don’t show up on preview or final post, but do in the Classic Editor).

Using ChatGPT to create WordPress “Additional CSS” code to customize Blog’s “Appearance”

August 10, 2025February 19, 2023 by Karmi

If you haven’t tried ChatGPT yet then you are falling behind. If you have tried it then give it a second or even third try, and then fall behind if you still don’t understand what it can do or simply don’t like it.

If you’re using a WordPress Premium plan (or higher) then you have the ability to add Custom CSS code (created wid ChatGPT) under Dashboard’s Appearance > Additional CSS customizing option. Some people have even created a ‘Working WordPress Plugin‘ for their blog.

I’m running a Hostinger self-hosted WordPress blog, the Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog, using the Multipurpose Blog premium $39 theme. Started the blog on 11/3/2022 ‘n have been slowly finding what I’ve needed for continued customizing. Self-hosting a blog takes some addition work, and WordPress themes that work at WordPress.com may need customizing if you go wid a hosting services. That’s when knowing some CSS code (or knowing how to find it) comes in handy. Today I asked ChatGPT to write a Blockquotes Style CSS script for me.
