I see you have Jetpack installed, so you could use the custom css feature. Just copy this code below and paste into it, this will hide the site title and description ( the right way).
#site-title,
#site-description {
position: absolute !important;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); /* IE7 */
clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
}
This is the same code used in Twentytwelve adjusted for Twentyten. In the future if you change theme, to the one that support hidden site title text, you could then remove it.
Thank you!!
Where do I paste this code??

Follow Jetpack’s guidance for its Custom CSS section
http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/
Someone provided me with the code above I just don’t know where to put it– Im VERY new to all of this and don’t understand CSS

Really you should have some knowledge of web technologies to perform your customisations, to compromise from hiring someone.
and how would I go about hiring someone to just do a few things for me? I don’t want want to spend a bunch of money I just need someone to get a few things set up for me
There is something else worth mentioning.
The images on the posts take ages to load, it’s not supposed to load the “full size” and display in a small size. For example, on the “Tuesday craziness” one and the “Peanut butter” one, heavy big full size images slowing your site down.
I suspect it’s how you moved content from WP.com over to WP.org. I saw the ?w=300
suffix in the <img>
source which is how WP.com manage images. It might relates to how you configure the Jetpack as well, I suggest you to post this question over at Jetpack’s support forum.
Can I just go back to the posts and scale the images?
Is someone at wordpress able to walk me through this– much of the “language” you are speaking is foreign to me
Regarding the first issue:
Without knowing how CSS works, you could still handle the hiding site’s title and description by yourself, all you need to know is where and how to paste that code in, review the link suggested by Andrew above.
The image issue:
Going back to scale the image is not solving the problem, WP should serve the correct size being used. The thing is you have Jectpack and it has pretty much the same feature over at WP.com, that’s why I think it might be how you configure it. I strongly suggest you ask this question to the Jetpack’s forum.
OK thanks
Is there someone I could “hire” going forward that won’t cost big $$$ to help spruce things up
I did it!!… the site title!!
THANK YOU ALL– any other help and advice would be great!! So appreciative!
