I need some help with The Columnist CSS:

1) Font size of Tagline is linked to Font size of site title, bu I would like to make Tagline bigger

2) How do people upload an image in the square above the title?

3) I want to create a blog Category called Bio and I’d like that all posts from this category are autmatically archived and displayed both in the home page and in a new page (not yet cretaed) called Bio. Is this feasable?

4) How do I add a Pinterest icon? I’ve created a Pinterest page but is there a nicer way?

5) Where do I change the “Continue reading” wording to write it in my own language?

It’s a very nice theme. Cheers Ben Martineau!

Thank you :)

The theme description is found here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/the-columnist/

Custom Header
Add a personal touch to The Columnist by uploading a custom header image and the black box that appears in the top-left corner will be replace with your image. Your header image will be displayed at 140 pixels wide by 180 pixels tall. Here you will see the default header shown on the left and custom image shown on the right: …

Uploading a Custom Header Image
Go to Appearance -> Header in your blog’s dashboard.

Add this to your CSS and adjust as desired. I’ve included the line-height so that you can space the lines in the description to your liking as well.
```
.site-title h2 {
    font-size: 17px !important;
    line-height: 18px !important;
}
```

For the Bio category, create it and assign it to the posts as desired. Then create a custom menu and you can put the “Bio” category in the navigation.

If you have set your language at settings > general, the “continue reading” text should be in your language. Have you set your language there?
