Help with site title formatting

    We are currently using the Hemingway Rewritten theme. We have premium hosting and I have access to customize the site.

    I’d like to possible remove the all caps site title restriction via CSS.

    I was also searching the forums to see if there were other things I could do to the background that surrounds the site title. I’m speaking of that dark box. I found this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/help-with-site-title-formatting?replies=3 and that helped me move the box to the left from the center, however I was wondering if I could go even further. The site mentioned in that thread, http://behindtheride.com/ has the box not all the way over to the side like the code in that thread suggests. So the author of that site must have altered what was mentioned in that thread. I’d like to do the same.

    Additionally, is there a way to reduced the overall size of that box? Both in height and width?

    And finally, is there a comprehensive list of CSS that tells us exactly what we can do to customize a site? If not, I understand. I can always come here for help.

    Thank you all.

    On the site title block, what that site did was to do a float:left; and then set a margin on .site-branding like this. 

    .site-branding {
float: left;
margin: 60px;
}

    Additionally, is there a way to reduced the overall size of that box? Both in height and width?

    We discussed this in the other thread, and the main thing affecting the size if the size of your logo. If the logo is smaller, then the box could be smaller. Due to the nature of your logo image though, it could be that it can’t be made much smaller without causing readability issues with your logo.

    And finally, is there a comprehensive list of CSS that tells us exactly what we can do to customize a site? If not, I understand. I can always come here for help.

    Since CSS is theme specific, trying to create such a list would be a daunting task, and never really complete since we couldn’t think of everything.

    In general, CSS is a document used by the browsers to position and style the elements of a web page, so pretty much anything within that would be possible, but with responsive themes, some things are more difficult, such as moving major things around.
