I noticed your reply on the First Friday, and the O in GMO stands for organism since it can actually be an animal as well, though my site focuses on plants.

Hey, thank you for having a look at my site.
The top of the site that has that title saying CRUSHED CARAMEL (LEARNER AT LOVE).
In the left hand corner is a little box with me taking a selfie before a party to send to my sister because she had lent me the dress I was wearing. That button just brings you straight back to my static home page where you see “Introducing Caramel”.
However, in the right hand corner there are three dots. When you press that it opens up the full widgets showing my menus above.
I am fairly new to blogging so I am not sure of there is a better way to display the posts I have published. But so far, this has been alright.
Thank you for sending me a message. Hope you have a lovely day.
