  I’m using the balloons theme and the balloons often cover my words. Is there a way to make the balloons go behind the words?

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

  You cannot make any changes to appearance without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

  Hi there,

  The floating balloons in the Balloons theme are an intentional design element of the theme. The scrolling effect that causes the balloons to ‘float’ should move the balloons off of hidden text with only a slight scroll.

  It is unlikely that the balloons will be removed in a future update, so short of the Custom Design upgrade, I’d recommend trying out another one of our single-column themes: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/one-column/

  Are you talking about the site description and title? If so, as Timethief says, it would require some adjustments to the CSS.

  Good day to you. I thought the reference was to the floating balloon that appears in post text.

  Thanks for your help. I see now that if I scroll the balloon does move out of the way. I know nothing about CSS so it probably wouldn’t be worth the upgrade at this point.
