  Hey Marjorie,

  I want to be able to change the colors easily and to make the large space reserved for the site title smaller or more interesting.

  If you’d like to make the space smaller, click Appearance → Customize in your site’s Dashboard. Then, click CSS in your right-hand menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  #site-title {
  margin-right: 270px;
  padding: 1.5em 0 0;
  }

  #site-description {
  margin: 0 270px 1.25em 0;
  }

  Then Save your changes.

  If you’re interested in playing with the header fonts for your site, click Customize → Fonts to make your adjustments.

  If you’d like to change the color scheme for your site, click Customize → Colors, and you’ll see many preset options, or you can come up with your own.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hi Marjorie,

  Were you able to sort out the remaining issues you were having? If not, you might want to check in with our expert staff and volunteers in the CSS Customization forum. They can often help answer questions or give guidance for customizing your site with CSS. :)
