 * Hi,
    New user here. i am trying to figure out how to get 3 small content boxes
   beneath the header, going across. similar to this site [http://www.fastlocksmithservices.com](http://www.fastlocksmithservices.com)
   My site is [http://www.cherrydogs.com](http://www.cherrydogs.com) but it’s only
   in the beginning stages. I haven’t made a child theme yet as I’m not sure if 
   Twenty Eleven is the appropriate choice. All help appreciated. Cheers. BJ

 * You don’t say what you want to go in the boxes or on what page types.
 * In general, though, three left or right floats, each one a third of the width
   of the parent block will do it, although you may have to make some adjustments
   for paddings, margins and borders.
 * On the business of child themes, it takes less than five minutes to create a 
   child theme that behaves exactly like its parent:
    - Create a folder
    - Create a file (style.css)
    - Copy and paste the required text into the style sheet
    - Modify the two or three lines of text needed for your particular situation
    - Import the parent style sheet
    - Activate the child theme
 * Making changes to the parent theme, especially a default theme, is more than 
   a bit risky in my opinion; and it also means you have much more work to do if
   you later decide to use a child theme after all.
