Helen, Ga

Helen is a city in White County, Georgia, United States, located along the Chattahoochee River. The population was 531 at the 2020 census.

The Alpine town of Helen takes its inspiration from the villages of Germany, complete with the building style of downtown shops and restaurants. But it’s also in the heart of Northeast Georgia, offering travelers outdoor sports like tubing and hiking, along with wine tasting at the many vineyards nearby.

    1. We frequently visit Helen and love it. A very unique little mountain town with lots of sites to see and great places to eat.

  10. Good for a town to reinvent itself for those living there. I watch a renovation show that helped a small town that was split by a river revamp and become better for those living there as well as a destionation place (near but not Laurel, MI.) 😀

    2. Reinventions of cities, towns and local areas can be beneficial to all involved. In the case of Helen, Ga, it was a success story.

  11. Yes, and I have changed them again. The issue is I can’t read the comments, which is important. Plus because I use a different with every post, some color backgrounds are not flattering to the image.

    1. I subscribe to WP’s news sites and I just read about WP’s change in the quote formats. I don’t think they realized how those changes affect our blogs. Way back when the new editor was introduced, I opted in. Then I decided to audit on my posts to see how they looked. Many of them had errored beyond being fixed. I trashed them and repurposed at a later time. I guess it’s something we have to learn to live with.

      I changed my blog to reflect different shades of gray, which I feel is neutral enough to not clash with my images. I changed the font and added the bold feature in order for me to see it clearly. I feel comfortable with it now and it is still a lighter color.

      1. Thank you, Rory! My readers don’t say anything about it, except I’ve seen comments on other blogs about the dislike for dark backgrounds.

        Yes, I agree WP does things just because they can but unfortunately, their alterations are not in the best interest of their clients.

  12. Rory, you bring up many good points and I appreciate your input. One thing I discovered about my theme, while toying with the colors, I can add borders and change the spacing. It seems some background colors make it look flat, in other words there is no depth and I feel adding borders add interest. You’re so right about giving up our uniquity to please others. I will be tweaking the colors later on today.

    1. Well l too have been experimenting with things like border and white blocks. There is a lot to the block editor, and things l shall be looking at especially with regards to the reading areas which may help readers stay on content but not compromise too much of my personality 🙂

      2. Hey 🙂

        When you get a minute have a check of some of the changes l have made to the fixed pages in the navigation. I have just made a LOT of extra work for myself, but l think it is genuinely worth it eugenia, and let me know what you think 🙂

      5. Your Welcome page looks great and I like how you showcase your text in blocks with a different background color. Your color combos are excellent, IMO, and you have make great headway in achieving a professional look. I noticed in your footer area, you have links to your categories, which are very hard to see because of the font color.

        I was having this issue yesterday while working on my blog. The colors I selected for my links were either too bright and harsh or dull and faded, I am working on it again today.

      6. Hey Eugenia, l know what you mean regarding the footer links – l was looking at that yesterday when l first started playing around with things.

        It all comes down to either finding the right colour that doesn’t affect the overall look of the effect you are trying to achieve or simply losing parts of the Widget personality style.

        I am currently working on all draft and published posts to get them to carry the same image and then sometime this week l will address the Widget zones.

        Nothing is ever easy in Wp at times.

      7. I should imagine Eugenia, that your skills as an underwriter and the need for detailed analysis with regards your project [the blog theme] are greatly appreciated here by you 🙂

      8. Thank you, Rory. I returned to a black background and will take it from there. It’s easier for me to start with a base color and then add or subtract colors. I was becoming frustrated and felt my blog looked cluttered so I started over.
