   Hello All,

   I could really use some help here. My site was up and running great until the guy decided he no longer wanted to host it for me. Now, I did everything I could to search for how to move a blog (to my own server). I am doing the best I can but have run into one major porblem that I don't know how to fix.
   The text of the post is overlapping the background and theme of the site. The problem can be easily seen by comparing the two following links:

   The original:
   http://www.vegasvalleyremodel.com

   The Problem:
   http://173.254.28.13/~vegasval/

   Also, the header is all screwed up. Anyone have any idea to fix these?

   Thank you so very much in advanced.

   Joshua

   First, it seems you are using the Twenty Eleven theme. You should not make changes to the theme directly, or they will be lost when you upgrade.

   Instead, use a child theme as described in the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

   Also, it looks like you are missing a lot of the styles from the original site and the flash player that shows the gallery.

   You can fix the header by adding this to the end of style.css:

   #site-title, #site-description {
       clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
       position: absolute !important;
   }

   But, you need to make sure that you get all the styles from the first site by moving the site properly.

   See this article from the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

   you can fix your content width with this, just adjust the width as needed;

   #primary {
   width: 70%;
   }

   Thank you both so very much.

   I really appreciate the feed back. I know I have yet to install and activate the proper plugins.

   deepbevel: Where do I put that code? Any guess where it goes in the style.css???

   Thank you so much.

   vtxyzzy: I tried that code, unfortunately it did not work.. I am trying to hide the header text and header area ll together so that it is just the picture for the header...

   thank you.

   As far as I can tell, the problem was solved. Try clearing your browser cache - you may be looking at an old copy.

   At the risk of nagging, I will repeat that you need to use a child theme instead of modifying Twenty Eleven.

   yes, at the end of style.css, I previewd the change on your site in Firebug and it worked for me.
