  First, the circle text widet is actually creating our text in circles on the homepage banner. I have tried multiple options and nothing works.

  Second, in the demo it shows a homepage layout, with a column on the left and recipes in the middle. None of the template options give us this layout. Additionally can you tell me how they created the “recipe box” look and feel. I cannot find any documentation about this theme other than marketing text around what it does.

  Appreciate all the help you can provide!

  Typo and additional info: the circle text is NOT creating text and this is for the Sweet Life theme.
  Thanks

  Hi Stephanie!

  Please see the answers to your questions below:

  The circle text widget is not actually creating our text in circles on the homepage banner. I have tried multiple options and nothing works.

  In order for the text to be inserted as circles, you’ll need to follow the steps laid out here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sweet-life/support/

  Specifically, you’ll need to wrap each letter in span tags like this:

  <span>C</span> <span>o</span> <span>f</span> <span>f</span> <span>e</span> <span>e</span> <span>&</span> <span>c</span> <span>a</span><span>k</span> <span>e</span><span>s</span>

  Can you give that a try?

  Have you checked out the theme support page here?

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sweet-life/support/

  They have a detailed breakdown of how they created the front page. It involves several steps, but they’re all listed on that page. Can you give that a try and let me know if you get stuck?

  For the recipes, you’ll need to use the recipe shortcode explained here:
