    I kinda knew how to make a basic theme from scratch but going through this tutorial makes me appreciate and understand WordPress so much more. And you're right! It does spark your imagination. Instead of displaying the content, I used wp_trim_words to trim the content to make it look like an excerpt if the excerpt field was empty!

    Thank you of your time invested and patience in explaining. You are very good at instructing. Do any of your videos explain creating a custom category to display only blog posts from one category on one page? Do any of your videos show how to change the index.php page to a 2-column layout using Bootstrap? The videos I've watched show older/different code for the loop than what is being used for the Twentyfifteen, sixteen, and seventeen index.php files.
