    I was confused too about how the featured 
   and header images work. Thanks for your replies bavota.

 * The idea was to use the stardard_seo_post_meta_description from blogger as excerpt
   in WP. This would be very useful and time-saving.
 * Thanks anyway for the plug-in and for taking the time to answer here (which is
   quite rare these days in WP support forums).

 * Thanks for your reply.
    I would easily trade off translation-ability and changing
   the year once a year, for much cleaner, readable code, any day. Furthermore, 
   aren’t all these php requests slowing down page loading?
 * With all this brainstorming going on in the wp community, all the frameworks 
   and builders and starter themes etc. I can’t believe I’m the only one who would
   like to see simpler code by substituting some superfluous php with html.

 * Just a further question to understand your example.
 * > If you do:
   >  <?php printf( ‘<span class=”modified”>%s</span>’, the_modified_date());?
   > > the output will be September 4, 2015<span class=”modified”></span> Oops, 
   > probably not what you wanted.
   > If you use this code, though:
   >  <?php printf( ‘<span class=”modified”>%s</span
   > >’, get_the_modified_date() ); ?> the output will be <span class=”modified>
   > September 4, 2015</span>
 * Couldn’t we achieve the
    <span class=”modified>September 4, 2015</span> with
 *     ```
       <span class="modified">
       <?php printf( the_modified_date() ); ?></span>
       ```
   
 *  ?
    If we can, this has also the added benefit of avoiding the %s stuff.

 * Thanks for your reply.
    I come from blogger, which I know inside out. But I want
   the independence of a self hosted site, so I have started studying the WP system
   for a couple of months.
 * MHO is that WP gets more complex every day. **Compare the automatic themes 5 
   years ago and now.**
 * The system has become too complicated, with too many files and simple changes/
   actions often require very complex code. (Take for example “translation-ready”,
   a feature that is of little interest to most of us, yet complicates the code 
   a lot. And how about all those different pages that every theme comes with, search
   results, archive, tags, categories, blog, about, page, post and what not.. Hey!
   why burden me with all these php files, I don’t want every page to be different,
   consistency is a nice thing.)
 * WP is trying to make customization easier for the complete newbie with the customizer,
   but it makes things very complex for the guy who knows a bit of html and css 
   and wants to really customize his site. PHP is not easy, the support is lacking,
   there are many different approaches to do the same things (all of them complicated)
   and it seems WP is forcing you to choose to either limit yourself to changing(
   the background) in Customizer or study php real hard and become a professional.
 * My point is:
    The learning curve to WP for Html/Css guys like me is too steep.
   Please hear me.

 * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/boxed-layout-yet-adaptive/#post-6506154)
 * By searching various sites and analyzing themes I found this code:
 *     ```
       .site {
           max-width: 960px;
           margin: 0px auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Is this the solution to boxed yer adaptive layout?
    “Max-width” instead of “width”?
