Sela Theme – HTML & CSS issues

    Hello,
    I am a newbe to this kind of stuff. I try build my own book blog.

    First I am sorry that I can’t provide you any link to my site because at the moment I have only done things local via xampp.

    I have two issues:

    1) I’ve added a picture to my header. Now I want to reduce the gap between my site-title and the picture but everytime I do so the sitle-title vanish below the picture.

    Header

    red – picture; blue – sitle title and site description (site description half vanished)

    I’ve added this to header.htp

    <div class=”site-branding-exp-bar”>
    ” rel=”home”>
    <img src=”<?php bloginfo( ‘template_directory’ ); ?>/images/EP-Balken.jpg” alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>” />
    </div><!– .site-branding-exp-bar –>

    and this to css

    .site-description {
    margin-bottom: -1em;
    }
    .site-branding-exp-bar img {
    maxwidth: 100%;
    height: 7em;
    }

    2) This one is bit more tricky. As you see in the picture below I want to have some sort of fixed repeative grid on one of my sites for utility reasons.

    Grid

    At the start I tried to do it with wordpress writing tool but there is no way that it will be like I want to have it. So it seems I have to do it in html and css.

    I hope maybe you can give me some kind of basic structure to build this and tell me where to put it. As you see I want to put in some pictures (with links to the appropriated posts) and text.

    I hope you can help me a little. I am also thankful for every other advise.

    Hi Zhap – are you intending to host this site on your own hosting, or here on WordPress.com? These forums are for folks hosted here at WordPress.com who want to make CSS tweaks to their site. It’s not possible to edit the theme files here, only make CSS changes.

    If you plan to host the site yourself, you can get help by posting your question in the Sela support forum:

    http://wordpress.org/support/theme/sela

    You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

    If you do want to host here, could you upload a Custom Header instead of adding a new HTML element? Once you do that, we can add space between the custom header and the site title.
