In reply to: Customizing Header, Twenty Eleven Child ThemeOh; well that’s much easier, haha. It’s coming along now! I should be able to adjust the alignment of the navigation bar with CSS to put it in-line with the logo and into the banner, correct? Thanks for your patience with a beginner.

In reply to: Customizing Header, Twenty Eleven Child ThemeThat worked. I’ll have to play around with alignment, etc.
I’d like to put a logo in there…these are the steps I took:
– Made a folder within the child them called “Child Images”
– Uploaded my logo .png file there
– Added <img src=” .. “/> within the topbanner div, above the <nav> codeNothing happened.
What am I doing wrong?

In reply to: Customizing Header, Twenty Eleven Child ThemeYes, I would like the new banner to go all the way across the screen, not limited to page width, so that it makes a “T” shape, so to speak.
Also, I don’t think I need to add another menu there so much as move the menu – those are the buttons I want, I’d just like them in a banner above the image. So once I figure out how to create the banner I *think* I should be able to move the <nav> within the banner code.
I’m planning to hard-code links into the footer, I don’t like the way they appear by default, but that’s for another day.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Dreamhost 1-click install – how can I update/change my themes?Thanks for your quick response. My plan is to use a theme from someplace else (ie: themeforest) and work to create a child theme. Is it possible to do this via browser, or will I need to add/change files on my computer and then upload them via FTP (such as FileZilla?) I did check out the Child Theme section of the WordPress Codex and couldn’t quite find my question answered there. Thanks again for your assistance!
