  Hi there!

  1. There are two columns of archive posts at the bottom of my blog page – how do I
  get rid of one of them?

  You can edit all of your widgets through your dashboard at Appearance > Widgets. Any duplicate widgets, or widgets you don’t want on your site, you can drag to the left and drop. They will be removed from your widgets. You can read more about widgets here:

  2. How can I control the font size of the post header differently than the blog name?

  In order to control the size of the blog title and post titles separately, we’ll need to use some custom CSS code. In order for CSS code related to font sizes to work, you’ll need to set the ‘Headings’ font size in your Customize window to ‘0.’

  Once it’s set to ‘0’ put this code in your custom CSS window:

  h1.site-title{
  	font-size: 64px;
  }
  
  h1.entry-title{
  	font-size: 64px;
  }

  3. How can make the tag line of my blog show up in the theme that I have selected?

  Syntax is one of the few themes which does not actually display the tagline on the blog, but it is in the title which will be picked up by search engines, browser title bars, bookmarks, etc.

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Thank you. I found a layout that I think works better, Timepiece. One question: how can I delete “Home” from the header as it is a redundant link for me.

  Your new theme Timepiece automatically creates a menu for you based on the Pages you have.

  There are two ways to override this:

  1. Create your own Custom Menu. You’ll need to set where it appears via the ‘Manage Locations’ tab once created.

  2. You can add this code to your Custom CSS panel in the customizer:

  div.menu{
  	visibility:hidden;
  }

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Thank you.

  How can I change the font size of the tag line?

  Try this:

  .wf-active .site-description {
  	font-size: 35px;
  }

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

  You’ve been very helpful.

  Is there a way to have a “full bleed” width for any image that I put in a post (like the image in the header)?

  You can add this code to make the images on your posts wider:

  .aligncenter {
  	margin: 0;
  	width: 100%
  }

  Because of the way the content of posts are designed in this theme, you can’t remove the rest of the margin from the image without also removing it from the text portion of your post.

  Let me know if you had something else in mind and I can help make it happen! :)
