  I am choosing a theme for my site and like this theme, but I don’t want the name to appear at the top. Can this be removed by editing the CSS? I purchased the custom CSS so I can make the change if it is possible. Anyone with words of wisdom?

  Yes it is possible with the CSS. It should be the h1 selector.

  h1 selector…unfortunately I don’t know what that means. Is it fairly simple?

  Thanks

  How about we start with a link to your blog?

  http://tasteoflocal.com/ – I want the name “tasteoflocal” to not appear since I will have it in my custom banner.

  If you can help that would be awesome!

  Add this to your CSS to completely delete the masthead (including eh top and bottom borders):

  #masthead h1 {
  display: none;
  }

  To remove only the text, add this:

  h1 a, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover {
  display: none;
  }

  A note of warning here: Since you do not have any posts or anything on the blog, I cannot be sure if the above change will affect anything else on the blog. You will have to test it to make sure. Since it leaves the top and bottom borders, it makes it look like something is missing.

  You could also change the color so that it is still there but disappears, which actually might be a better solution because the search engines would still see it even though it isn’t visible:

  h1 a, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover {
  color: #ffffff;
  }

  Thanks a ton

  here is what i did

  body,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,address,blockquote,dd,dl,hr,p,form {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  }
  h1 a, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover {
  color: #ffffff;
  }
  body {
  font-family:Helvetica;
  font-size:12px;
  text-align:center;
  vertical-align:top;
  background:#ffffff url(‘images/bg_body.gif’);
  color:#fff;
  }

  When I preview it as “Add to Cutline’s stlyesheet” it looks great. When I start from scratch things go missing. Is this not the place to place this on the style sheet?

  Thank you again for your help

  You always want to select “add to stylesheet” and that way all you have to include in your additions is the things you are actually changing. I’ve experienced problems with the start from scratch option, even if I put the existing stylesheet in with no changes.
