Tweeking CSS
Ok, after some fiddling I now have the home page rendering as I want it to on tablets. First I experimented with the viewport setting, but that did not fix the problem. Next, I downloaded the CSS and uploaded a copy to my server. Then, I experimented with the @media setting, landing on auto for the left and right margins and max-device-width to 1024px.
Now the home page renders centered on my iPad Mini, Nexus 9 and iPad Pro. It actually renders the best on the Nexus 9.
Not Centered
The next technical issue I want to resolve is the rendering of my main blog in portrait on tablets. As you see, the viewport is shift to the right, making the text not centered. When I rotate the display to landscape then the viewport and text are centered. If anyone has a suggestion to fix please let me know.
What We Need Is Wisdom
“Wisdom comes from dealing rightly with the information, but information has become a consumer item in its own right. We have no place deep inside us to integrate this information and transform it into wisdom. Hence our social system may produce many specialists, but very few wise men and women. And in the end we’re short of knowledge, wisdom, and time.” from “Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go” by Richard Rohr
Patience
“Communism tries to enforce equality, Nazism tries to enforce security and solidarity within a group, fundamentalist religion tries to shame and psychologically coerce people into an “only way.” The biblical God seems to just call us to simplicity and patience, which keeps us outside of every totalitarian big system or overarching explanation.” from “Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go” by Richard Rohr
A Call To Live Differently
“We don’t think our way into a new life; we live our way into a new kind of thinking. The Gospel is before all else a call to live differently, so that life can be shared with others. In other words, the Gospel is ultimately calling us to a stance of simplicity, vulnerability, dialogue, powerlessness, and humility. These are the only virtues that make communion and community and intimacy possible.” from “Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go” by Richard Rohr
I Want A Posting Switchboard
I’ve tried several apps that provide a central location for writing and a way to “broadcast” that writing to different networks, but none provide a simple way to designate per post to which network I want a post sent. Like others I have seen, micro.blog only seems to have a way to send everything I write here to all other designated networks.
