Photo Tale: House of Azaleas

House of Azaleas

Words by Jeanne Joe Perrone

It was a place for dogs
and I am cat people.

My room was never mine

And I hated the mirror and windows for the
longest time. I was the gatekeeper and watch-guard
there, on the corner by the road, hedged in by

headlights and demons with my things all

crammed in Wal-Mart shelves unable to breathe or look fine.

But it wasn't the house's fault.

I liked it
better before they tore the redwood paneling
out and painted over the red bricks in the kitchen.
It was what it was then,
dark and woodsy, not a whitewashed tomb. I

didn't want them to fix it,
but that wasn't the house's fault.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
