I don’t have WordPress installed…I just use the web interface. I do have the CSS upgrade, however. I use the FULL FRAME template. Here’s my site:

mariannavigliotti.com

Here are my questions:

1. How do I make the logo (gold signature) larger? The actual image is 3500×1685 pixels. I’d like it to be 2 or 3 times larger than it displays currently. Would I have to increase the header size as well?

2. On my pages, there is a white box that appears whether I enter text or not. I would like to remove or make this white box invisible, since I intend to add all text directly onto my featured images using Photoshop.

3. If you look at my main page, there is a header, underneath which is a bit of the back ground, underneath which is the featured image. Is there any way to move the featured image up so it lies flush with the header?

Thanks so much, and let me know if any clarification is needed!

The CSS ugrade comes with Staff support but Staff work through all forum threads tagged for their attention and through all email support tickets in order of datestamps and timestamps – first posted first served, as would be expected. When bloggers keep bumping any thread thinking they are going to get service from Staff more quickly they aren’t thinking straight because that moves the timestamps and datetstamps forward and it takes longer to get a response. The same is true if you email more than once the date moves forward and it takes longer to get help.

Okay. Well I posted this yesterday and had received no response…..how should I be tagging in order to get their attention? I only added a “CSS” tag and that’s all……. Any tips on tagging?

No Tags are required in the CSS Forum, except for the tag for the theme being CSS edited.

I can’t help with your issue but I checked your site and I’d recommend that you remove your email address and replace it with a Contact panel where people have to fill in their email address, subject and message so that your website sends you the email.
That avoids exposure of your email address to mailing list harvesters which are purchased by spammers and used to fill up your inbox with junk.
(Just a tip.)

Hi there,

1. To make the logo larger, can be done, but it will end up making the black band at the top taller, which would make your navigation look strange. May I suggest using your logo as a header image instead? The header image for Full Frame should be 1200px wide by 500px tall. I would suggest downsizing and re-uploading the image so that the file size is smaller, and make sure and save it from the original as a PNG so that it will be sharp and clear. You can then use the following to hide the existing site title/logo.
```
.site-title {
    display: none;
}
```
2. Putting all the page content into an image is not a good idea from a search engine standpoint as they rely on page content to tell what a page and site is about, and they cannot read text in images. If you want the text in the images, I would suggest also including it as text in the body of the page and then we can hide that content from view, but it will still be there for the search engines to read so they can properly index your site for searches. The following can be used to hide the content on static pages from visitors.
```
.page .entry-inner {
    display: none;
}
```
3. The following will get rid of the top margin in #primary and move the image up flush with the bottom of the black navigation bar at the top.
```
.home #primary {
    margin-top: 0;
}
```

Thanks so much for your help! Suggestions 2 and 3 work perfectly.

I understand your suggestion #1, and I implemented it. Only problem is that the header now takes up too much space… I’d like it to have a height about 1/3 the height that it has now…. any CSS suggestions for that?

Thanks again!!!

Add the following and see what you think. You can adjust the height value as desired.
```
.site-header {
    height: 300px !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: contain;
}
```
