  It would require the Custom Design Upgrade and a change to the CSS.

  I have the upgrade.

  I need assistance in changing the CSS as I am not familiar with it.

  Thanks.

  Hi thesacredpath,

  Would you be able to help change the CSS? The wordpress support has been silent so far. Thanks.

  @stenzio
  As you are not familiar with CSS editing I suggest you check out the suggested resources so you are good to go.

  Here are a few tips we live by:
  Develop your stylesheets offline.
  Use a CSS validator.
  Take advantage of your browser’s developer tools. Under Firefox, install Firebug. For Internet Explorer, install the Developer Toolbar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editing-css/#css-help

  Also note that when you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Read this for more info: http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  Note that either thesacredpath or Staff will help you when they can.

  @stenzio, this will get rid of the vertical line between.

  #branding #logo {
  border-right:none;
  }

  Add the above to the CSS edit window and you can then preview it and save. Make sure “add to existing…” is selected before saving. Also, sometimes the preview does not show correctly and you have to reload the preview page to see the change.

  One other suggestion as it looks like you will be using a lot of images. Go to settings > reading in your dashboard and set your site to display perhaps 3 or 5 posts per page. I’m on a wireless internet service and your site is painfully slow to load for me.
