This will be followed by a Laragon installation, Laragon is a localhost for windows that allows people to build and view any sort of website on their pc. So if you need or want to install a localhost on your pc, this is the month for you. we'll be looking at WordPress blocks and hopefully fielding many block related questions.
This will be followed by the usual trouble shooting and website related discussions.

This is the site origin feature widget
This is the site origin feature widget, one of cool site origin widgets I think we should look at on Sunday
More on the features widget
Using the features widget I can select an icon, the icon colour, the colour of the icon container, the size, title text and more
But wait, there's more!!
I can swap the icon for a logo or any image. I can preview the widget I'm creating within the widget pop up.
FAQs
A better looking icon
So now I want to create a better looking icon spread. This time I have started by created a row with three columns and set, my features layout to 1 feature per row, hoping this will work as 1 feature per column.Lets try using a bit more customisation!
So this icon is an image I created using gencraft ai. Once again I'm going to create a background colour using the design options on the right hand menu in site origin. I simply select a background colour and it's applied to my column. From here I could also opt to use a background image rather than colour. This is also where I add padding, border properties, border radius (for rounded edges - or I could turn the area into a circle). Set the font colour, link colour, link hover colour and box shadow properties.
A Feature Ball
This is created using a border radius of 50%, next I set the pading to 20px all round and the vertical alignment to centre.
Not as awesome as I'd hoped but could be fun for christmas.
