In reply to: Can I delete an address and then move another site to that address?Hey @jaykinetic, your sites are on wordpress.com so you’ll get more specific help on the wordpress.com support forums.
(Here is some info on the difference.)
At wordpress.com, you can import and export your content from one blog to the other. If you need to empty the receiving site first, here is some info on that too: Empty site
There’s no need to delete your old address, ever. You can just make it private but keep it in case you want it later.

In reply to: Meta Tag ManagerThere is a lot you can do. Generally, most of what you’re talking about (and a lot more) can be done with the Yoast SEO plugin. But meta tags are definitely not all you need to know about SEO with WordPress. Here are a few resources that might get you started thinking about it:

In reply to: Editing Title Text on template imagesSure, we can probably give you suggestions if you give us a bit more information to go on. Please provide the url of the site you’re working on, a description of what you’re trying to do, and detail the steps you’ve tried that haven’t worked. We’ll take a look!
You can upload the file to your media library, copy the url, and use that as the value for a custom field instead of assigning the background by selecting a class.
However, you’d need to a) set the background image value as inline css (or in your header) in your template, or b) you’d have to rewrite your template so that the image is behind your content as an image, not a div with a background.
By the way, if you’re using custom images like this regularly, you can make the upload + assign value process even easier by using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin as well, which allows users browse-and-upload functionality right from the edit page.

In reply to: Language Settings: English admin area, French front-endFollow-up, in case anyone is interested. I added my .mo and .po files back and just adjusted it with a plugin instead:

In reply to: Want Decrease the Spacing after a Specific Line of TypeYou can adjust most things on a line-by-line basis, but it creates a lot of work for you, which is why styles should generally be standardized.
In the case of those subheads, the code in action is this:
.entry-content h2 {
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 0.8125em;
}You could change that if you wanted, or you could make a special class to add to your text editor one line at a time.

In reply to: Want Decrease the Spacing after a Specific Line of TypeOh great, glad it worked out for you.
I haven’t done it, but I believe that when creating a drop-cap class, you would want to make a special class (say ‘.drop-cap p’ instead of just p, or you’re right, it will apply to all values) and then you could add the code to that first paragraph in your text editor as
<p class = "drop-cap">or something similar depending on how you set up your styles.Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: Want Decrease the Spacing after a Specific Line of TypeSure! That’s the margin on the
<ul>tag. Here are the current values:ul, ol { margin: 0 0 1.625em 2.5em; }If you want to reduce the margin at the bottom to match your
<p>bottom margin, change the 1.625em to the value you want.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Expound] Customising the themeAbsolutely. Sounds like everything you need to do can be done by adjusting the css. It’s easiest to find the values you want to change using Firebug. Here is a tutorial, in case you haven’t used it before.
You should never edit the theme files directly, but you can try using a custom css plugin, or adding a child theme and only changing some css.
