What theme are you using? Can you share a link to your blog?
Below is a link to the theme I’m using. Notice the “about” box in the bottom right of the header??? I’d like to get rid of that.
http://www.themesjunction.com/theme/aquarium_wordpress_template-2530.html
Go to Appearance/Editor in your admin panel and select the Header template. Find and remove this section of code:
<div id="about_box">
<h3>
ABOUT
</h3>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/about.txt'); ?>
</div>
Well that got rid of the text in the box, but not the box itself. Any help on that???
Unfortunately, that’s because the box itself is actually part of the header image. In this case, I recommend either replacing the header image, finding a different theme, or putting the about box code back and finding a clever use for it.
Maybe I can place my own text or pic there???
If you want to place your own text there, the theme’s instructions say that all you need to do is edit the about.txt file.
If you want to place your own picture there, do something like this:
<div id="about_box">
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourimage.jpg" alt="title image" />
</div>
Make sure that the image is comparable in size to the box.
Where did you read that about editing the *about.txt* file??? Sorry, I’m new to all this and Thank you for the help.
When you download the theme, there’s a file called How to Use.txt with a few instructions, including “How to change “About us” summery.”
Found it. Thanks!!! Can you tell I’m new to all this?
