  I’m having problems with my blog. The theme looks great for every page except for the main blog page which is currently set as my post page. I don’t like how the website name jumps from the upper left hand corner to the center of the page. I would prefer that it displayed the same as the other pages, saying blog in the center and Big Apple Bound in the corner. Is this something I can fix or am I stuck with it? I have already tried setting up a brand new blog page and setting it as the post page but the difference in the formatting prevails. Also, on the blog post page, some of the titles will change color when I roll over them but many of them do not. I don’t mind it either way but I wish it would be consistent. The titles function as they should and still bring up the full post when clicked on but why is there a slight difference? Thank you.

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

  Okay great! I figured I would need to upgrade to the Premium bundle for the CSS editing but was hoping it was an easier fix.

  Thank you for providing the links all in one place.

  Hi there, I think this custom CSS should get your site looking like what you have in mind:

  .libretto-blog-home .site-branding {
    display: inherit;
  }
  .blog .site-header .site-title {
    display: none;
  }

  Let me know if that does the trick.

  Also, on the blog post page, some of the titles will change color when I roll over them but many of them do not.

  I took a look at your blog page and every post title had a purple rollover colour. If you have already visited a post, the title will already be purple, since your visited link colour is purple. To override that styling and keep the visited post titles grey on your blog page, try this custom CSS:

  .blog a:visited {
    color: #787065;
  }
