Baskerville Theme — Animal Rescue Site
-
I’m hoping someone can help me out. I’m using the Baskerville theme as my website for my animal rescue non-profit.
I need a lots of customization to the CSS (footer removal as I want it to be more a website than a blog, width, right now to get the three images on the home page, I had to do three blogs but I want to use static pages instead of blogs).
What’s a good starting point for all this? Can anyone recommend a book on CSS?
Help! Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

footer removal
Sorry but the footer credit links cannot be removed from any sites, even VIP hosted sites, here at wordpress.COM. Removal of the top Admin bar and/or footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation that results in blog suspension and there is no upgrade that changes that.
Terms of Service:
11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
Support docs:
May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsThough removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades, as they contain the Custom Design upgrade.
Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.
See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing: Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsNote that if you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.
You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

What’s a good starting point for all this? Can anyone recommend a book on CSS?
Here are some good starting points to learn more about CSS:
- https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/
- http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/css-intro/
-
- http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/
- https://thewc.co/articles/view/web-inspector-tutorial
- https://cssworkshop.wordpress.com/
- CSS Basics
- Editing CSS
- CSS tutorials
I’d recommend online resources over a book, since they are updated more frequently and allow you to click to view examples much more easily.
If you need further CSS help, please feel free to post in our CSS Customization forum.
