Hello-
I’m using the Chunk theme and would like to move the search box from the footer up to the top right corner of the page if possible. Can I do this if I have the CSS upgrade? I’m not very familiar with CSS at all so I’m doing some previews of it first to see if it will help me resolve some of my issues and I don’t think I saw a post on how to change this or whether it’s possible.

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

Try adding this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page and clicking the preview button:
```
#container {
position: relative;
}

#search-3 {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
```
Adjust the top and right values as necessary. Add “background: yellow” to see where the block is in the layout.

Hi designsimply-
Thanks so much! I tried this but it didn’t seem to do anything. I know nothing about CSS – the only other code I have in my CSS stylesheet editor (to get rid of the posting date) is:
.hentry .entry-meta .date {
display:none;
}

… and I pasted your code underneath. But it didn’t seem to do anything.

I’m also looking for a way to remove all categories from posts (that is, I don’t want “uncategorized” – or any other category – to appear next to posts, as we’re trying to not make this look like a blog but a web site) but I don’t know if that’s possible with customized CSS (and little to no knowledge of CSS!!).

You have not purchased the Custom Design upgrade, and so the changes will only show up just for you only if you click the Preview button. Try going to Appearance → Custom Design → CSS and clicking the Preview button on that page.

This will remove the category links in the Chunk theme:
```
.hentry .entry-meta .cat-links {
display: none;
}
```
Or you could remove the entire entry meta block in one step like this:
```
.hentry .entry-meta {
display: none;
}
```
You should also check out these help pages about posts and pages and how to setup a static front page:

Thank you so much for this – the “uncategorized” is gone!!! I spent a lot of time looking through settings for that so it’s great to have it gone. I will recommend that we purchase the CSS customization now for sure.

Re; the search box move: I posted the text you provided and then previewed it, but it didn’t work (my other two changes did though, getting rid of the date and now the categories, which suggests that I think I’m using the preview function alright). I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong…
