 * Thanks! When I go to wordpress.com and claim my blog name, should I continue 
   with the rest of the steps like choosing a theme right then? Or should I just
   choose the name and then import my blog and choose a theme after?
 * When choosing a theme, should I look for something that is visually similar? 
   Or should I just pick something that has the same features as my previous theme?
 * Do you recommend backing up my blog before doing any of this? Where can I find
   instructions on how to do that?
 * Thanks so much for your help!

 * Thank you! Do I need to map the domain to the wordpress.com blog? If I choose
   that route, I still need to renew the domain name with go daddy, but just not
   the hosting is that right?
 * If I want to avoid paying any money, could I just go to wordpress.com and see
   if [http://www.inloveinlondon.wordpress.com](http://www.inloveinlondon.wordpress.com)
   is available and create that and then move the files over to that?
 * Will this only work if my theme is supported by or compatbile with wordpress.
   com?
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for the response. My theme was a free them from WordPress, I don’t understand
   why it’s not a supported theme anymore. How do I contact the developer directly?
   
   Thanks!

 * Hi Redrambles, I tried that and it seemed to work! Thanks very much for all your
   help!
 * Radices, I don’t know how to use a component inspectors or FireBug.

 * Hi Radices, I went to Dashboard>appearance>editor and enabled editing.
    This 
   message is typed in the text:
 * “DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
    If you need to overwrite the CSS styling, create a new
   custom_style.css in the theme folder and it will automatically load in the <head
   >.”
 * So am I really supposed to change it? The message still appeared when on the 
   top right of the page I followed: select theme to edit>Themify Base>select>styles
   >stylesheet (style.css).
 * I did find the part you are referring to above, I was just hesitant to change
   it. Also, when you say to take out the padding line, do you mean delete the whole
   line like this?
 * #header {
    position: relative; text-align: center; height: auto; border-bottom:
   solid 1px #ccc; }
 * Thanks! Andrea

 * Hi! It works to link the header back to homepage, although I feel like there 
   is a lot of white space around the logo. (I liked the appearance of it before.)
 * I uploaded my picture to the site logo under logo image and set pixels at 1000
   x 350. My image which has a white background showed up, but did not fill up the
   whole grey box. So then I went to header and under header wrap chose white as
   the background so that they grey box did not show. I just wonder if there is 
   a way to make my logo fit that space a bit better and reduce the amount of white
   on the top and bottom of the logo. I couldn’t seem to find anything that allows
   you to change the size of the site logo.
 * Thanks so much for solving the image linking issues! Any ideas for the white 
   space on either end?
 * Andrea

 * Thanks for your response. I tried what you said, but ran into two issues.
 * 1) I set up my site image under “Header” not “site logo & tag line”, (Appearance-
   > customize -> themify options -> header) so when I entered the URL under the
   custom site logo link in site logo and tagline, it didn’t work. Did I set my 
   site image up the wrong way?
 * 2) I tried uploading my image to the site logo and tagline box like you show 
   in your screen shot. It created a little copy of my site image on top of the 
   one I already had, which would obviously need to be rectified, but when I tested
   the link out, it said 404 Page not found. So the link did not seem to work. When
   you say to do the home page url is it just “www.inloveinlondon.com” or something
   longer?
 * Thanks!
