  1. How do I delete the page titles, specifically the “Home” page and “Resume” page?
  2. On the home page, I’d like as little space as possible between the blog title (“India Autry”) and the first thing posted in the body of the page (my picture).
  3. The blog title and the page titles are darker shades of turquoise than the rest of the font. Is there anyway to correct this?
  4. I’m having trouble controlling the look of the photos on my “photo gallery” page. As it is now, some of the photos are cut off. Also, I can’t control how many go on one line. I thought I would be able to control how many pics are on each line by changing the number of columns in the gallery, but this seems to have no effect. Also, how do I control the size of the photos?

  Thanks so much!

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

  This gets rid of the title on the home and resume pages only.

  .home .entry-title, .page-id-1237 .entry-title {
  display: none;
  }

  This gets rid of the title on all static pages you have created, but would leave titles on posts.

  .page .entry-title {
  display: none;
  }

  The above would take care of #2 as well and the image moves up close to the bottom of the navigation.

  3. Which color do you want to use? The darker or lighter turquoise?

  4. The chosen gallery type is “square” which means that it will crop images that are not square so that they will align in the tight grid pattern.

  I want to use the lighter, the one used for “cafe au lait belle with a warrior’s spirit” on the home page. Thank you!

  If I don’t use the square tiles, and just use the regular tiles, it compresses everything to the left side of the page, only two or three pictures wide, no matter how many columns I choose. I would like the pictures to spread out across the full width of the page.

  There are some limitations on the gallery.

  My suggestion is to take control of the cropping. Delete those images, or unattach them from that post. Edit all of your images in the photo gallery and crop them to a square that you are happy with and then reupload them to that post and insert them as a square gallery. With rectangular images going into a square image layout, there is going to be cropping and the wordpress gallery function isn’t doing too good a job of choosing the crop.

  This will take care of the site title for you.

  h1 a:link, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover, h1 a:active {
  color: #3FB8AF;
  }

  The page titles are already the color of “afe au lait belle with a warrior’s spirit”.

  BTW, very nice looking site.

  Would you mind another question? The code for the amber color that I’m using for a lot of the font on my site? Thank you!

  To find the color code for something, right-click on it and select the “Inspect Element” option. You should see the HTML for the element you clicked on and all of the CSS properties that apply to it on the right. If a color is applied, you’ll see it in the CSS on the right.

  Here is an example using the Firebug add-on for Firefox: http://cl.ly/NjfD
