  Can you explain to me how you were able to get your home page to show the image and the white text box in front of it (much like the Sela demo)? When I reached out to someone at WP support they said they “think” it’s a CSS code that needs to be used.I’m not familiar with code and can’t seem to find the solution anywhere.

  Any help would be beyond appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You cannot change the way any WordPress.COM theme is designed to function so be clear on that. Any appearance changes you want to make to any theme requires purchasing a bundle of upgrades.

  WordPress.com sells bundles upgrades. We can “preview” changes in the theme customizer that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

  If you have not purchased the Premium bundle that contains the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  If you have purchased a Premium bundle then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.
