  I am very new to this and used a template for my blog. it stills looks a little “bare bones” and I paid for the $30 upgrade so that i could make a few changes. I’m trying learn how to change my title header (capitalize the first letter to each word and make spaces between words), add pictures to post lists, and add scrolling image gallery.

  is there a way to keep the theme settings i chose and integrate changes that i’d like to make?

  thank you.

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

  I’m trying learn how to change my title header (capitalize the first letter to each word and make spaces between words)

  To adjust the letter spacing and capitalization, you can add CSS rules like this to your Appearance → Themes → Customize → CSS panel:

  .site-title {
      letter-spacing: normal;
      text-transform: none;
  }
  .site-title a {
      font-size: 60px !important;
  }

  To edit the words so there are spaces, use the Appearance → Themes → Customize → Site Title panel.

  add pictures to post lists

  This one is part of the theme design and is not something you can change using the Custom Design upgrade.

  and add scrolling image gallery

  This also isn’t something you can add using CSS only. There are many themes that have featured post sliders built in that you may be able to use. You can find them here in case you are interested in taking a look:

  You might also be interested in the carousel feature which will show any gallery in a carousel slider once you click on an image:
