    Hi,

    I just installed your amazing theme but I still want to customize something but I don´t know if that´s possible at all.

    This is my blog. http://ntropy.de/

    I would like to reduce the height of the header part, so that it´s not so prominent.

    Also I´d like to know if I can replace the header image (that´s now the background) by the header text so that I have JUST the image, which you should also be able to click on.

    Then I´d like to know how to reduce the height of the “middle part”, the part where the 4 articles are listed so that the sites (FB page etc.) is not so far away.

    I would like know if I can program the theme in a way so that big article right below the header is set, while the smaller articles can change. (I´d like to separate big magazine like – articles and smaller blog like articles)

    THank you in advance
    Philipp

    Hey Philipp!

    You can do most of that with CSS, but you’ll need some basic CSS skills at least. A good Custom CSS plugin is available with Jetpack. Having the theme display a single post in the main featured block and rotate four other posts in the secondary featured area is more tricky. You’ll need some programming skills to rework the expound_get_featured_posts function or the featured-content.php template via a child theme.

    Hope that helps!

    Hey Konstantin,

    thanks for your reply. I have some skills as I know a little how it works. I already use a external CSS plugin called My custom CSS.

    I just don´t know if everything I change there will change the real theme (without changing sth. inside the actual CSS) Apart from that, could you just give me any advices fot the code? As I don´t know that much about programming I´d really appreciate your help!

    Bests

    Hey there! Anything you change in your Custom CSS plugin will not change the actual theme, but will override the styles (if the correct selectors are used). Once you remove you customized code, the styles will return to the default ones defined by your theme, so no worries if you make any mistakes.

    If you’re new to CSS, here’s a good tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/css/

    For the second part you’ll need some general PHP/WordPress knowledge though, which as I said is trickier.

    Cheers!

    Hey Phire. I gave you some tips above on where to look into implementing the feature you asked about. If you’re new to PHP, you can hire a freelancer to do the work for you.

    Have a good week!
