hello, i hope my late answer can help you a bit:
1st, what you mean there ui think is the description of the blog. in the header.php at line 36+37 you can see how this works.
if your blog has a description allready it can be shown , if it has no description, add one in the adminmenu.
the code you can add would be something like this:
<p class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>
the pages and all other things you want edit or change might be in the block-folder. you can write your on “pages” there and add them with your widgets of the hemingway theme in the presentation section.
open the block-folder and you can see how this works. you can certainly add whatever you want, jpg. or a .gif. its all yours – a flickr.stream page is still available with the theme. if you want share your pictures from flickr on your page. just read the flickr.php in the block section
good luck. if you have any other questions, ask. perhaps i can help you
p.s.: take a look here to this post. a lovely modification of the hemingway, great work and cute:)

Brilliant on changing the blog description in the admin page. Worked great! Thanks.
As for the second part, where do I find the block-folder? (I’m a newb, but pretty teachable if I know how to find things…)
Thanks again. The Cherry Blossom mods are an inspiration.

the block is a folder that you have uploaded to your wordpress-installation.
its in your hemingway.rar included. just open the hemingway.rar or .zip on your desktop and have a look for the “blocks”. there are currently 8 pages included, and so you can find your about page.
change it however you like, modify it with pictures but take good care to upload it in the right direction again.
if you write a complete new page, like a picture gallery – drop it in and activate it with the widget support in the adminsection of the theme
the widget thing is awesome and asks you to rewrite it again, but this is only the name of the widget page itself in the admin area. dont be afraid of this and use an easy name to find your selfmade page again. drop it in, out as often as you like. hemingway is great
Here’s what I have:
<h2>About</h2>
<?php query_posts(‘pagename=about’); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Presumably I would drop in the new content between the first and second line?
Thanks very much again.

Okay, I think I’ve got it.
Do you know why the about page in Hemingway does not drop in the gray rules as it does in the other blocks?
Thanks.
sure, you forgot the “ul” rules. just change your about page in following:
<h2>About</h2>
<?php query_posts(‘pagename=about’); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<ul class=”counts”>
this is about finishing at the beginning
<///ul>
***at the last ul, please delete 2// out of this code. otherwise i couldnt send it here in this forum. /ul is the last line***
thats it 🙂
