  You guys are awesome. I am wondering why the lines between the sidebar widgets are not showing up as they do in the example of the Capoverso theme. That would look cool. Also, I can’t get the site description, “Free and Unsolicited Advice for Teens,” to show up.

  I also wonder what I can do to make the home page’s upper right hand corner look less empty and plain?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  I am wondering why the lines between the sidebar widgets are not showing up as they do in the example of the Capoverso theme. That would look cool.

  I took a look at your site: http://nickelsworth.org/. I am not sure if you were able to fix your own issue or not, but I do see lines between your widgets. They are just very faint, as the color of the lines and the color of the background is so close.

  I can give you a bit of CSS code that will make those borders pop more. If you’d like to give this a try, click Appearance → Customize in your site’s Dashboard. Then, click CSS in your right-hand menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  .main-navigation, .single .entry-header .entry-meta, .widget-title, input[type=”text”], input[type=”email”], input[type=”url”], input[type=”password”], input[type=”search”] {
  border-color: #393939;
  border-width: thin;
  }

  Then Save your changes. That should do the trick!

  I also wonder what I can do to make the home page’s upper right hand corner look less empty and plain?

  By nature, Capoverso does have a more “empty” looking upper right-side. However, you could always set up your homepage to look like the theme’s demo. Here are the instructions:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/capoverso/

  By making a front page like the theme’s demo, you can add a background image that will fill up the space.

  If you don’t want a home page like the demo, you may still consider adding a background image to your site, here:
  https://nickelsworthdotorg.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-background

  Also, I can’t get the site description, “Free and Unsolicited Advice for Teens,” to show up.

  This theme by default will not display the site’s description, as seen in their demo:

  https://capoversodemo.wordpress.com/

  If you really want that to show, perhaps another theme might better suit you? I can lend a hand if you need.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
