Sela theme help
-
Hi
I am using the Sela theme (https://selademo.wordpress.com/) and I am crazy about it! it’s a soft and gorgeous theme! Thanks to the designers!
I would like my blog front page to look exactly (same format/layout) like the sela theme demo.
This is my blog: https://choicegelatin.wordpress.com/
I have managed to get the featured image, but how do I add the text box in the center of the featured image as in the sela demo?Secondly, how do I add those three pictures in a grid on the front page as in the Sela demo?
Lastly, how do i add testimonials on the front page on my website (just like in the sela demo)?
I tried searching the forums, but maybe I am not using the right keywords
Much appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

1. Set the page template of your About page to Front Page. This support guide tells you how to set a page template: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#template
Please note that once you change the page template to Front Page, all the existing text in your About page moves to the box in the center. So you may want to have short text.
2. The three pictures on the front page are part of three text widgets, each have a picture and text beneath it. You can add one text widget each to First, Second and Third Front Page Widget Areas in your dashboard widgets screen at
https://choicegelatin.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.phpHere is the support guide for text widgets: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
Check Adding an image section at the end to learn how to add image: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image
3. You can add two testimonials in https://choicegelatin.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=jetpack-testimonial and they would auto-magically appear on the page when you set the page template to Front Page as in step 1 above.
Give these a try and let me know if you have any questions :)

You are welcome :)
Your front page looks lovely.
To make it even better, I suggest you edit all three images on your front page to have the same height.
