Add logo and reformat header type on home page

    I upgraded to Customize Design so that I could add my logo to the home page, left justify it and also add some text to the right of the logo.

    How do I do this? What are the steps? I can’t seem to find where to put the code in for the main page header. I am not a programmer and I’ve never done this. Any help would be much appreciated.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    To put your logo on the left, add the floowing to your custom css :

    #custom-header {
    text-align: left;
    }

    But i’m not sure you can add text next to it. Anyone has ideas ?

    Thank you kindly for this response. Can you please tell me the steps to where I actually put that code? How does that work? I am trying to do a work around in the meantime by putting in one big banner. I just don’t know where or how to add that custom css. Thanks again for your help.

    @jimkuiken, I see your logo and the text to the right of it on your site. Nice job!

    If you would like to space your logo down just a bit, add this to your custom CSS and adjust the 10px top margin value as you desire.

    #custom-header {
    margin-top: 10px;
    }

    Thank you. It worked beautifully! I finally figured out where to put the code :-)

    Do you know if I can add an email link to my footer (I tried and it does not work) and also if I can delete the 2 lines of type for the name of the theme or if not, move it down away from my footer?

    Give this a try and then adjust the line-height. The line-height will add spacing above and below the copyright line, which is why I took the top margin on #footer .info back to zero from 10px.

    #footer .info {
        margin: 0;
    }
    
    #footer .info:before {
        content: "©2013 Jim Kuiken Design • 612-242-5629";
        line-height: 3;
    }

    On the email link, you cannot add HTML to CSS, so there is no way to do it through CSS. In themes where the user is utilizing a sidebar with widgets, you can do a repositioning of a text widget with the link in it, but you aren’t using widgets.
