  I am using the theme Twenty Twelve. I have a three questions:

  Is it possible to add a sidebar to the left (where I could have further text boxes, etc.)?

  Is it possible to make the font size of the title bigger?

  Is it also possible to use a picture as a banner, i.e. underneath the text of the title (rather than beneath)?

  Many thanks in advance.

  Unless the theme actually has a widget area for it, it is not possible to use CSS to add an additional sidebar area (with widgets).

  Is it possible to make the font size of the title bigger?

  Yes.

  Is it also possible to use a picture as a banner, i.e. underneath the text of the title (rather than beneath)?

  Yes. If you upload your image to your site, and then post the URL to that image here, some of us can help with the placement.

  Thank you very much. Do you know how I can make the title bigger?

  By the way, concerning the image size for the ‘banner underneath the title’ it needs to be 960×250 pixels is that right? I’ll get that ready and forward it.

  Again thank you!

  Hi, from a quick look at your site, I am assuming you are talking about post and/or page titles. The following custom CSS would allow you to increase the font size for post/page titles. You would need the Custom Design upgrade to add custom CSS, but you can try out the following CSS for free to see what it looks like. Go to Appearance > Customize, click on “Custom Design” at the right, click the Try button and then click on the CSS button at the bottom of the list at right. Delete all of the informational text in that window and paste in the following. You will be able to preview the change right on that page. To save the changes though, you would need to purchase Custom Design.

  .entry-title, .entry-title a {
  font-size: 1.57143rem;
  }
