Including Header Title Over A Header Image

    Hi there :)

    For this new blog, I’m trying to edit the Neo-Sapien theme with CSS editor to help me include the Blog Title layered on top of the header image. I can’t seem to find a solution to this, despite searching forums aplenty. Does anyone know how this can be done?

    As far as I know, other themes will allow you to include the title text on the main page. Neo-Sapien seems to prevent this.

    Any tips would be hugely appreciated! Thanks

    PS I also can’t seem to get rid of the Neo-Sapien calender, despite deleting all the relevant CSS code. What am I doing wrong?!

    It’s always a good to include a link to your blog so that we can help you better.

    CSS is not a markup language, it’s just for styling. No matter how much you delete or add, you won’t change anything in the markup other than how things look.

    Link to your blog, please; then we’ll proceed.

    Sorry, just assumed it would include a link in my profile to the left. Here’s the link:

    Hope you can help with the banner. Cheers.

    Thanks for the link.

    Unfortunately that theme removes the blog title. A way around this is using a text widget with the following code:

    <div style="color:#000;font-size:175%;position:absolute;left:200px;top:100px;">
YOUR BLOG TITLE HERE
</div>

    The values I’m using for the color, font-size, left and top attributes are just suggestions, you will need to adjust them to fit your needs.

    Hi – thanks a lot for this. I’ve just been playing around with it on the blog. For some reason, it only seems to allow me a certain-sized area in which the text can go, meaning that when I increase the font size, not all the text appears.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    That is odd… it shouldn’t be doing that… try adding this to the code I previously gave you:

    width:480; height:250;

    That should give the “div” tag the same dimensions your image header has.

    As for the Calendaar, if you add widgets to Sidebar 3 it will go away.
