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

by

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.

Nobara Linux 37 – ‘Keep an Eye on this Up & Coming Linux OS!’

by

Nobara Linux hasn’t been out very long (less than a year), but its “simple point-and-click user experience” keeps getting better! I first reviewed ‘Nobara Linux 36‘ at my Linux Newbie blog hub on 9/19/2022, and then ‘again‘ at my new self-hosted Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog on 11/7/2022.

Springdale Linux (SDL) 8.7 – ‘Headed to Princeton University’s Peyton Hall?’

by

Peyton Hall holds the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, and rumor has it that they use Springdale Linux there. If you’re headed there then you probably already knew that.

I once tried to get into Princeton University, before the days of computers ‘n internet, but they rejected me after I had walked ‘n hitchhiked to there from ‘Toilet Seat Cut‘.

Linux & Printers: Driver & Compatible Issues Fading? – Canon imageCLASS MF3010 VP

by

My last Pantum P2502W printer gave out last week and I immediately started the dreaded search for a new printer. I had actually purchased three of them @ Newegg Business 10/11 years ago, one at first, and then two more after I saw how well it worked. They were on sale for about $25 each, each printer came wid a “700-page starter cartridge,” and I was looking for a printer wid high Page Yields – ‘Page yield is the approximate number of pages you can print with one cartridge.‘

I had grown tried of buying replacement cartridges at around $27-40+ each, depending on if it was a Black or Color cartridge. Page yields were closer to 120 pages for those cartridges; however, lack of page yield wasn’t the only problem, i.e., those small cartridges often clogged up for lack of use!?! Cheap printers wid expensive replacement cartridges – what a gimmick! Before the Mono Pantum, I had spent more on cartridges than printers…far more, and I didn’t really print a lot!

Four backlit keyboards tested in 2021 during search for the perfect TKL keyboard

(11/6/2025 UPDATE: This was an old post from my old Linux Newbie blog that I moved over to here)

I never realized that keyboards came in sooooooooooooo many versions ‘n styles!? How many people actually use the number pad on a keyboard? I don’t ever recall using it on any of my keyboards, but there it was, always occupying 3.25+ inches of Prime Desktop Real-estate!?! For the past few years, I have had 2-3 of them on my Desktop, which adds up to about 6.5-9.75++ inches of Prime Desktop Real-estate being used for number pads that I’ve never used.
