  Howdy Larry!

  Your front page on your site is just a reflection of your latest posts. So, if you want to change some content within those posts, you’ll just need to click on the title of the individual post and use the “Edit” button at the bottom of the post or access the “Edit Post” screen through your Dashboard as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/

  If I misunderstood what you’re looking for, please let me know what you’re trying to change so I can help further!

  Hey Larry!

  Sorry for the misunderstanding. That information on your sidebar is actually present in the form of widgets. You’ll need to edit them from your widgets page here:

  Please let me know if you need anything else!

  Thanks, Jeremey!
  That did it. Any advice on how I can make it look a bit better? (The word “Theology” is a brown square).
  Blessings.

  Hi Larry,

  It looks like this is an issue with the theme. The entire widget title should have the brown background. I went ahead and reported this to our theme developers. I’ll let you know as soon as a fix is in place!

  Hi Larry,

  I just wanted to update you on the widget title. It looks like this theme (Choco) doesn’t support long, multi-line widget titles. There are two main options moving forward:

  1. You could shorten the titles in the widget areas so that they fit onto one line.
  2. You could opt to switch to one of our newer themes. Found here:

     http://theme.wordpress.com/

     Do any of those themes catch your eye?

  I’m happy to answer any questions that may come up about new themes!
