Is it possible to re-organize a WordPress template theme?
-
I am using the ‘2014 WordPress’ theme for my blog, and really like it a lot except for the order of how features get displayed.
At the top are the ‘Categories’, then the ‘Title’, etc.
Is there any CSS Customization that would let me start with the ‘Title’ and move the ‘Categories’ at the end next to the ‘Tags’?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Create a custom menu and then you can control the order of the category page links appearing in it.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page you create and designate as a front page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top.
When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links and category sub-pages into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages, and arrange them in the order that you wish them to appear in https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content that rarely changes like About, Copyright, Contact Info, etc. , not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages for static content that rarely changes into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them in the order that you wish them that you wish them to appear in https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

Thank you, this is great information, but it far exceeds what I want to do: re-arrange the order of the 2014 WordPress theme to have the “Title”‘ displayed 1st NOT ‘Categories’. I like my categories, just don’t want the blog post to have them on top. Can they be MOVED down?

I’ll leave it to Staff to respond to this now as you appear to think this is an issue that can be addressed via CSS editing. Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
