  Your site is miserably unintuitive. Ever heard of usability? Try it. It works.
  I’ve been working for literally hours, just trying to make a simple change.
  The change I would like to make is located on the left margin of my home page. I can’t figure out how to get to it, or how to make any changes. PLEASE HELP.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey textmarketingblog,

  Looks like you have a lot of space on the left side of the page, are you trying to move everything over to the left side of the page?

  Hi Freddie,
  Thanks for responding.
  The part that I’m looking to edit is located underneath:
  “Send VIP Offers to Your Clients”.
  I can’t figure out how to access the left panel TO EDIT.

  Hi there,

  The area to which you are referring is called a widget. Widgets are edited via the Customizer. Click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Then click on Widgets ->Sidebar. You need to edit the text widget appearing there.

  You can find the setup instructions for your theme here:

  And you can find a complete tutorial on how WordPress.com works here:

  Please let me know if you have any more questions.
