I was curious if anyone new how to edit the heading on the theme Style with CSS. I’m trying to get rid of the “search” bar at the top, and extend my heading background pattern all the way across!
Anyone have any idea how I can do this? I’d really appreciate it!

Hello there Hannah,

This should remove the search in the header:
```
.header-search { display: none; }
```
And this should expand the image across the entire header (a fun challenge! Thanks for the opportunity to figure that out.):
```
.header-link {
    width: 100%;
}
.site-header {
    padding-right: 0;
}
.site-header hgroup {
    width: 100%;
    background-size: cover !important;
}
```

You’re so very welcome! CSS is certainly a magical thing. Check out this link when you have a chance if you’d like to get a jump on learning a bit about it:

Is it possible to change font color in a heading? Ex. My site name.
It is now white would like a different color. Using Lyretail theme, not sure if theme type makes a difference. Thanks

@dnorris310 That’s certainly possible. To change the color of your site branding title for the Lyretail theme, apply the following CSS:
```
.has-custom-header .site-title a {
   color: #333333;
{
```

You can also change the site title text color on many themes by going to Appearance > Header within your Dashboard and scrolling to the bottom where on many themes you will find that option.
