Hi.

I am trying to adjust the CSS stylesheet to what I want my blog, http://tillersenior.com , to look. I have not purchased it yet, but I will soon do if anyone can help me with two questions that I have been struggling with.

I am using the Delicious Magazine theme.

1. Can the image size be changed under “Latest news” when I have the two column layout? If so, what is the CSS?

2. Is it possible to remove the site title and the site description from the home page using the CSS?

Thank you for reading, and I am hoping for solutions.

Kindly regards,
Marius Larsen

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

1. I do not see “Latest News” (perhaps I just can’t read it) on that site so I can’t help with that.

2. This gets rid of the title and tagline but you will have to create a new background image since all the content will shift up.
```
#header {
display: none;
}
```

Wait, you said on the home page. Use this code to remove it only from the home page. You will have to create a new background image just for the home page though since all the content on the home page is going to shift up.
```
.home #header {
display: none;
}
```
It is a bad idea not having a site title on a page and especially the home page since that is how people identify where they are and get a quick hint on what the site is about. Without a title, they have to go digging around, and they may simply not take the time and click away.

Hi, and thank you for answering :-)

1. The images I am talking about are below “Tiller Senior – 3. divisjon, 4. divisjon…”

2. I understand what you are saying, but I am thinking of having a bigger space between the menu and the slider. In that case, the site title and description will be disturbing (in the way) for the new header/background image I will create. Is it then possible to move the title and description further down on the page (/site) when I am having bigger space between the menu and the slider?

I hope this was a good explanation.

In the Delicious Magazine theme, you should be albe to control the image sizes under Latest News using the options for Appearance → Theme Options → Featured Images. If you have any trouble with those settings, please post on the Premium Themes support forum which is linked on your Appearance → Themes page.

To keep the site title area clickable, try this:
```
#logo .site-title a {
width: 920px;
height: 73px;
margin-top: -55px;
text-indent: -9999px;
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
}
```
Looks like you may want to keep the site description after all, but if you use the CSS above then try this to also hide the site description:
```
#logo .site-description {
text-indent: -9999px;
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
}
```
Adjust the width and height of the sit title as necessary if you change out the background image.

Note that you should copy only the CSS changes to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page and you should not copy and paste the entire original theme stylesheet.

Thank you very much, @designsimply. That was exactly what I was looking for! :-)

About the images, I have discussed this subject before on this forum. There is no problem using those options you are mentioning, but that is only the one column layout – I use the two column layout, and in that case I am not able to change the image size in Theme Options.

That is why I am hoping for if there is a CSS code to make those images a bit wider than what they are now.

I have tried to find out but without any luck…
