The Tsunami Showdown

Legend:
[-] - Off key, [+] - On key

In order of approximate appearance:

Madonna [---] - horrible, just horrible. Some news network the next day commented: "...not sure, if John Lennon would agree with this version..." (imagine singing "Imagine" in like three different keys in a rapid succession...)
Maroon5 [-] - alternative. Very.
Mary J. Blidge [-] - she should apologize to Stevie for murdering his song...
Bryan Williams (Beach Boys) [-] - profoundly pathetic...
Norah Jones [+] - such a sweet hart, always...
Gloria Estefan [+] - consistently perfect. Can't hold, not gonna. Still good.
Elton John [+++] - fabulous, just fabulous. Incredible performance.
Sara McLaughlin [+]
Josh Groban [+] - a bit shaky, when he speaks, belting is perfect
Stevie Wonder & India.Arie [+/+] - oh, look, I can sing two octaves lower, than him :)
John Mayer [+?] - since he has no detectable voice, it's very hard to say if he was on or off :) Plus for the effort. And he can play guitar, kewl !!!
Nelly [+, I think, hard to say...] - I wonder, what do you call this genre, "Smooth Rap"?
Roger Waters & Eric Clapton [+/Eric didn't sing] - "...little Pink Floyd number..."? More like a big Dire Straits number, and a good one
Kenny Chesney [+] - I hate country...
Annie Lennox [+] - gospel, huh? Good, though...
Sheryl Crow [-] - quite unexpectedly. I guess, holding to an instrument doesn't guarantee success...
Lenny Kravitz [+]
Diana Ross [-] - you are done, admit it, sweetie.

WordPress: How to add custom fonts to a twenty seventeen child theme.

Quick help to those who have tried to find some help and failed (as I have so I have to write the code myself). Assuming that you have your virgin child theme configured and activated: here is a function which goes into the functions.php file (of your configured and activated child theme): function childtheme_twentyseventeen_fonts_url() { $replace_original_font = true; // unless you really like Libre Franklin if ($replace_original_font !== true) { $hyph = '-custom-'; } else { $hyph = '-'; }; $font_families = array( //add your Google fonts and weights (400 and 700 are defaults for normal and bold) here: 'Oswald:200,400,700', 'Lato:200,400,700', ); $query_args = array( 'family' => urlencode( implode( '|', $font_families ) ), 'subset' => urlencode( 'latin,latin-ext' ), ); $fonts_url = add_query_arg( $query_args, 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css' ); wp_enqueue_style( 'twentyseventeen' ....

How to Make a Website Everyone Has

Things I Do Not Get

Amongst many things, and in no particular order: A Web-standard-compliant box model. Why the default size of the box is determined by it's contents, and why the padding should be added to the overall dimensions. The Internet Explorer's model makes more sense (blasphemy). It does. Another CSS thing which puzzles me: why I can float things right and left, but not to the center? Right and left here are in fact top-right and top-left, but I sooo could use bottom-right and bottom-left positions as well... And why decided that vertical margins should collapse? Not a very important one, but still... really, why?
