I am using a slightly modified Twenty Eleven Theme with 3.2.1 and I've got a header logo in place with some white space to the right. I'd like to use this place to insert my own tag line so it will not cause the header area to take up more space.
Something like
"logo image here" "plain text tagline here"
what code do I need to insert and where to be able to do this?
the site is http://www.yourphotoretouch.com
For a start you need to create a child theme for those alterations quick smart rather than modifying twentyeleven directly, because it's the default theme and needs to stay pristine for all sorts of trouble-shooting reasons (also this way your customisations won't be over-written by the next WP update)

You could also enter the tagline code there and style it so that whatever you enter in the tagline in the Dashboard appears in this place.

Thanks I have created my child theme, and plan to move over any alterations I made to the child theme. I don't know if I need to alter the code I added in the original theme files to make them compatible with the child theme, and I don't know which goes in style.css and which goes in functions.php.
Any online resources where I can do more research? As you can see I am slowly teaching myself via google search what I can about design coding.
