Thank you so much. 🙂

I’m going to check out Blank Slate. 🙂

Regarding the change of header.php in the css file, can you tell me good search terms to find that thread in the forum? I’ll start with:

change main nav in header.php file

but I never know if I’m using correct terms because I’m self taught and have gaps in my knowledge. Thanks for your help-

Got it.

Where can I learn how to modify the header.php file without breaking the theme? And if I do this and WP makes an update, I’m screwed, right? So I should probably use another theme

Can you suggest a better – simpler parent theme to start with? I’m only trying to create a TWO page static site- one is basically a business card online and the other is a simple contact form. The client insists that I use WP instead of just making static, HTML site.
All I need on page 1 is:
logo on top
three link main nav
text on left
image on right

page 2: simple contact us form

I’ve looked through dozens of themes and they all seem beautiful, but very complex. also I need the correct way to make certain functions NOT show (comment area, etc) to use the more complex themes.

As I’m making these changes, is the best way to see one change at a time to make the changes in firebug, add each change to child theme stylesheet, then upload that and viola?

I’m starting using a duplicate of the twenty twelve stylesheet for my chid theme style sheet because I want to change as little as possible.

I just don’t know enough about css to know whether I need to include the WHOLE thing when I upload it or just my changes.

And whether or not I can isolate certain selectors and change them independently of others, specifically I need to center the top nav and the footer without making the text on the main page centered. I’m finding it difficult to see which div takes precedence over others. I’m adding text-align: center; to different parts of the css, but so far it aligns ALL the text center. Can’t figure out which divs to change only the header and the footer. 🙁

I also cant the main nav to appear below a header image, not above. Can this be changed in the css?

Oh – I forgot to ask- is this the best/ simplest process to be using?

Any suggestions would be great, as I am at a loss as to what to do next. 🙁

Thanks.

Do you know if it’s possible to add a table with six images in a grid to the twenty twelve theme? I’m trying to create an image widget to add to the page, but you can bet I won’t try it through the functions.php file again….. Any suggestions?
