  First off, go back to settings > general and enter a site title and description. It is very important for the search engines to see that. I’ve then hidden those with the second bit of code below. They won’t show on your site for your visitors, but the search engines will be able to see them.

  There may be some more adjustments to make with margins and padding, but start with this.

  #main-nav {
  position: absolute;
  top: 155px;
  }
  
  #site-title, #site-description {
  display: none;
  }
  
  #core-content {
  margin-top: 40px;
  }

  Just noticed something. Replace the first bit of code I have above with the following to make the navigation as wide as the theme and make the “authors” menu item look centered and in alignment with the rest of the site.

  #main-nav {
  min-width: 500px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 155px;
  }

  Thanks so much. How do I pad the bottom of the “Author” bar? “margin-bottom?” (right now it’s cut off) Thanks again for all your help.

  Also, how can I get the author’s name to show below/next to/connected with Posts? (i.e. “by (author’s name here)”)

  Thanks again!

  Change the top margin value in #core-content to something like 70px.

  Manifest will show the author’s name on the single post pages, such as when you click on the title of the post on the main page, but it does not show it on the main blog page. See here: http://portsidestandard.com/2013/03/23/newly-gay-man-too-gay-for-long-time-gay-friends/ . There is no way to add that other than to insert your own “byline” at the top of each post, and then hide the themes byline via CSS for the single post pages.

  One more question (sorry), how do I minimize the space between the date of the posting and the headline of the post? I’m trying to find which code applies to that?

  Add this and play with the negative top margin number.

  .post-content {
      margin-top: -70px !important;
  }
