    HI can anyone tell me how you can position text in the kubick header. I have my title and description centered but would like to be able to reposition the text possibly near the top and near to the left. How can this be achieved. Are there parameters which will enable accurate positioning anywhere in the header space? I am a complete novice and this is my first attempt at customising the a wordpress theme.

    Many thanks for help

    You would need to edit the css in your theme’s style.css. Here are the parts to edit:

    #headerimg h1 {
font-size:3em;
text-align:center;
padding-top:50px;
padding-left:-50px;
	}
    #headerimg .description {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	text-align: centre;
        padding-left:85px;
	}

    For info on css text formatting and alignment options, try Google searches for:

    css text
    css text-align
    css margin
    css padding

    BTW, you need to use American English spelling in your css (center not centre).

    I forgot to mention one other important thing about editing the default theme, changes to it will be lost on upgrade if you leave it named “default”. To preserve these changes, you need to duplicate the default theme’s folder and then rename the folder and the theme name in the style.css.
