Thank you, Alchymyth. That are all good pointers, and I will spend time to look into them.

One use case I immediately have, is, i want to extract daily stock indexes from here:
https://www.nasdaq.com/

And display them on one sidebar of my site, probably with a chart too.

What’s the best way to approach this? Thanks a lot.

Thank you all for the discussions and advices, and I think I have eventually solved that problem. In order to change the text color of the main menu, it works here by changing the color setting:

.nav-menu li a {
color: #CC0066;
display: block;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 0.6;
padding: 15px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
}
It works in this selector. Initially, I tired here:
.main-navigation {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1080px;
min-height: 35px;
position: relative;
background-color: #FFFF99
}

The main-navigation’s color settting doesn’t work.

Thank you again!

Are you familiar with Twenty Thirteen theme? These are not my own CSS code. Similarly, I want to change the color of navigation bar, and it has no effect either.

.main-navigation {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1080px;
min-height: 45px;
position: relative;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFF00
}

I added ‘font-weight’ and ‘color’ to this selector. font-weight takes effect, but color doesn’t. What’s wrong with it?

I am using twenty thirteen, and .site-title is right. I can change the size in that section. Wow, !important works. What does it mean?

Any idea on this issue? Thanks.

One more question. In this case, I guess most of my menu items would be categories, which implies most content in these categories would be blog like conversations, to achieve better user interaction. My only static page would be the home page About Me.

My question is, would it make the site slower by having many ‘blog’ categories? I am just curious.

This works perfectly for my desire. Thanks a lot!

Do you mean a specific URL by “a link to a specific category”?

I think so. I am not very familiar with how to use links and menus. I will explore that. Thanks.

But I must set a page for Blog Pages; Otherwise, I will only get static pages, like a typical About Me home page. Right?

Yes I hate to have another install. Can you be more specific for “just have two menu items that point to the two categories”?

Yes, that would partially work.

But the problem with this approach is that your “blog” menu is outstanding and likely people will click “blog” to see your blogs. Once it’s clicked, they will see a mixture of blogs from various categories.

Hi, I want to one site only, simpler. As for the access, two admin users can post on either Blog1 or Blog2; or it’s fine for one use to access one section only if it’s easier to do.

In Settings->Reading->Frontpage, I can only set one page, like “blog”, as blog pages. If I want another page to be Blog Pages, so that I can have two blog sections to blog about different subjects.
