 * Hi, I need to move some sliders down on a home page and add some text above it
   so its the first thing you see when you click on the home page. I am struggling
   to do it. Can anyone help or advise me please?

 * Firstly you need to do these changes in a child theme, details here:
    creating
   a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * You need to install and use a browser inspector, if you are using firefox then
   this is firebug, other browsers have equivalent addons.
    Using the browser inspector,
   you need to identify which css blocks you need to target, then add the custom
   css to the child theme.
 * When you get stuck, please post a link to your website, and describe what you
   want to do, what you have tried etc.

 * When you open the home page you will see image sliders. I need to place some 
   text above this and move these down to make room for the text…..this is what 
   I am having problems doing?
 * I have removed the sliders before but cannot put the text in its place. Am not
   too sure what I am doing wrong? I am new to WP. Will be grateful for any help
   given.

 * Copy the file header.php from your parent theme into your child theme.
 * In your functions.php register a new widget, (use the parent theme as a template).
   call it like “sidebar-hdr”
 * Edit the child theme header.php, after the div with id=”logo”, add a block like
   this:
 *     ```
       <div id="hdr-sidebar" class="hdr-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
       		<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-hdr' ); ?>
       	</div><!-- #hdr-sidebar -->
       ```
   
 * Then in the Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets, add a text widget to the hdr widget
   area, add your text here.
 * Add custom css to style the new text.
