   Hi,
   I'm a novice in Twenty Eleven. I'd like to substitute the site-title like ***.com above (or should I call this header?) by my own text say "Hello world!"
   I understand about child themes (http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), but I don't want just to play with color and font-size, I'd like to create a small module to place several words instead. Thanks.

   This is typically what the site description (tagline) is for. What about using that and then positioning it above the main site title?

   It's possible of course, but anyway I'd like to write some module, which substitutes the main site title. I can agree with the line "Proudly powered by WordPress" at the bottom of the page, and I already diminished font in "Just another WordPress site", but I'd like my customers to see what is this site for, first, and not just useless name followed by the ads of WorldPress :-)

   "Just another WordPress site" can be changed from within the dashboard by going to settings > general > tagline. You can make that anything you want and then it can be positioned above the site title and styled as you wish. The site title can also be changed at settings > general to whatever you wish.

   The stuff at the bottom of the site in the footer can be changed (typically it is located in footer.php) and may be simply text and/or links and it can include PHP calls for information from the database.

   ...but I'd like my customers to see what is this site for...

   That is exactly what the tagline/site description is for.

   Oh! Sure! I forgot about the dashboard. Many thanks! My programmer's mind makes things more complicated than they should be :-)

   One more simple thing I can't understand.
   How can I make a small horizontal drop-down menu under the Header picture?
   Just three-four buttons.
   For example, under the first button (HOME) I'd always like to see my Welcome post. And when I write the next post, I don't want it to show up on my HOME page before the Welcome post. I want it to show, for example, on a different page under given category. And all the categories (just a few) I'd like to see in drop-down menu under the second button. Is this possible? Thanks

   Are you talking about in the top navigation?

   Create a custom menu and you can do submenus. Custom menus give you a lot of options.

    About the footer. I already posted this question at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-site-2?replies=25#post-2532247, but I didn't get an answer. I'd like not to just remove the wording "Proudly powered by WordPress" completely, which is possible by deleting lines 24-27 in the footer.php-file in my twentyeleven-child theme, but to play a bit with its color and location. For example, set color ##009900 (green) and align it left or right. I guess, I should change some lines in my style.css child file. Thanks.
