  Is there a way for me to add a footer to every page within the “bold” theme? I don’t see a widget for that.

  Also I want to resize the text in the header.

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

  Hi rdeyo,

  You can edit the header size in CSS:

  #masthead {
  height: 300px;
  }

  I’m not sure about the footer. I believe the footer information is determined by the theme itself. I have heard of people adding a link towards the bottom of their sidebar and using that as a sort of footer.

  I hope that helps!

  P.S. You’ll need to purchase Custom Design feature to edit CSS.

  Hi there,

  Bold Life does not have footer widgets. If you just want to add a bit of text in the footer, like a copyright, you could use some CSS to display it in front of the theme credits.

  If you want to do anything other than that in the footer, though, I’d recommend just switching to a theme with footer widget areas.

  Also I want to resize the text in the header.

  Sure! You can do this with a bit of CSS:

  .logo {
  font-size: 72px;
  }

  72px is the current size; just adjust it until it looks like you want. :)

  Is there a better place to find themes with footer options than this?

  Searching for ‘footer’ is a good idea, but you’ve also added the ‘theme options’ filter there, which is only showing themes that have a particularly worded ‘theme options’ tab in their settings. It’s not a very helpful filter, honestly. :)

  Here’s those with just the footer search:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/free/?theme-search=footer

  There are also these:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/reddle/ — (you might like this one)
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/matala/ — (can remove graphic)
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/pilcrow/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/zbench/

  Most free themes have either sidebar or footer widget areas, not both. Note that those that do have both, however, typically have multiple layout options.
