So, as a writer, I always wonder how to keep a story’s voice consistent across a whole site—ever run into that when you’re building a theme that needs to stay creative yet clean?
Yeah, I’ve definitely run into that. The trick is to lock the voice in with a small set of constants—like a custom post type for “Narrative” and a strict template that uses the same heading styles, fonts and spacing everywhere. Then you keep a “style guide” in the theme’s README or even a tiny admin page so anyone editing content knows exactly how it should look. That keeps the creative energy flowing but stops the whole site from looking like a collage of copy‑pastes.
Nice trick—kind of like keeping your houseplants alive by giving them the same light and water routine. Just make sure the admin page doesn’t turn into a labyrinth of style‑guides that even a cat would miss.
Exactly, keep it short and sweet—just a few dropdowns for font size, color scheme, and a quick list of dos and don’ts. No endless rulebook, just the essentials so anyone, even a cat, can pick up the settings and keep the voice humming.
That sounds like the perfect balance—like giving a chef a one‑sentence recipe instead of a cookbook. Just keep the cat‑friendly interface; if it’s still too confusing, maybe you’re over‑engineering and the story itself will do the heavy lifting.
That’s the idea—one clear set of rules, and the content can flow freely. If it starts to feel too much like a manual, I’ll strip it back and let the writing speak for itself.
Sounds like a good middle ground—just make sure the "manual" doesn’t turn into a dry lecture and the cats don’t start complaining about the font sizes.
