That One Time I Hacked WordPress

In the upper left, between the header and center navigation is a readout that originally showed the current date and time. For some reason, the time didn’t fit next to the date like it was supposed to. Calling on my limited knowledge of such things, I figured I could probably comment out the code that referenced the time display. It’d been so long since I’d done that, I had to look up how.

Not sure why the theme displayed weirdly. Doesn’t look that way on the preview. I’m low-vision, and my setup is tweaked accordingly. It’s possible that section of the theme was “compressed” by my low-res view.

Looks OK now, tho. And it didn’t even bork the site.
