  Hi, if anyone is familiar with the free theme “Blask,” is there a way to change the color or add a picture to the gray square on the homepage behind your blog title? Also, I added a featured photo on my “About” page and it isn’t appearing after publication. Thank you so much!

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

  Hi there,

  I added a featured photo on my “About” page and it isn’t appearing after publication.

  Blask is designed to show featured images on Posts, but it doesn’t display them on Pages. Not all themes will display featured images on Pages.

  is there a way to change the color or add a picture to the gray square on the homepage behind your blog title?

  Sure, so both of these changes would require either the Premium or Business plan. These plans include Custom Design, which allows you to add CSS code to the site.

  In case you decide to upgrade in the future, here are some bits of CSS that could be added for each change.

  This is some basic CSS to add an image behind the site title:

  .site-branding {
      background-image: url(YOUR-IMAGE-URL-GOES-HERE);
  }

  The image URL can be found from My Site > Media. Once there, click the image and then click the Edit button towards the top left of the screen. On the resulting screen, you’ll see a field that says URL, and you can copy the image URL from there.

  Then, use the copied URL to replace the YOUR-IMAGE-URL-GOES-HERE text in the CSS above. It may require some tweaking based on the size of your image, but that will give you a good starting place.

  This is to change the background color behind the site title:

  .site-branding {    
      background: #000000;
  }

  The #000000 number can be replaced by any color value that works with CSS.

  If you need help implementing this code in the future, feel free to make a post over in our Custom CSS forum, and we can help you further tweak it for your site.
