- Title & URL: the ability for certain pages to have custom-else-sub themes on (this site=http://1.JotHere.com) http:/1.JotHere.com//2771#M23ATL
- M23AUI: Motivation
- M23AVD: Since site aims to support content on any topic, much work has been gone into choosing a general purpose page theme for this site.
- M23AXE: For instance, here’s the thinking which went into the debatable but intentional choice of a black-background with white/light text -post your feedback on that there.

- M23CVB: Important site navigation & search box
- M23CVV: Login & out & account creation & management
- M23CXE: Backgrounds & font colors & sizes which make the text unpleasant or entirely unusable.
- M23OA6: Solving with WordPress Multi-site mode (used by WordPress.com)
- M23CQL: Situation from start of this site to present:
