Forgot to give the site. http://www.darkhavenbookreviews.com. Thanks much.
Don’t remove them! They need to be in the markup for the search engines. But you can hide them using CSS.
you can move the site title and site description from the header, using css;
the ususal methods are:
either
display: none;
or
visibility: hidden;
or
text-indent: -9999px;
applied to the css selectors of the the respective html tags.
edit: i just see the link 😉
(if you post a link to your site, someone might be able to point out what is most suitable way for your site.)
in your case:
#site-title, #site-description { text-indent: -9999px; }
either add this as a new line at the end of style.css of your theme; or add the text-indent: -9999px; to the existing style(s) of #site-title and #site-description
Thanks Esmi and alcymyth. I’ll be sure to do a backup of my site before I try this.
By getting rid of the tag and header lines, will I be able to enter a large header image??
Also if you go to my site now. http://www.darkhavenbookreviews.com. Can you see my current header? It doesn’t seem to show up in IE and ususally it’s there in Google but I don’t see it there either. This has happened before. Sometimes it’s perfect and sometimes it
I’d qualify alchymyth’s suggestions by saying that you should really only use text-indent: -9999px; or, alternatively:
#site-title, #site-description {
position:absolute;
top:-9999px;
left:-9999px;
}
Why? Because not everyone who visits your site can see. Both display: none; and visibility: hidden; hide these important texts from visually impaired users (who also cannot see your nice graphical header image).
By getting rid of the tag and header lines, will I be able to enter a large header image??
If you avoid using visibility: hidden;, yes.
Can you see my current header?
Yes – both in IE Standard and IE9 Compatibility Mode.
Thanks again Esmi very much!
I’m using Coraline theme and wanted to put my tagline text in the header on 4 lines, how can I set where the line breaks occur?
Thanks!
