 * Hello,
 * To use a specific page as your homepage you can settings>reading on the left 
   hand dashboard. From there, the first option will be “Front page displays”, and
   you can chose the radio button for a static page. Then, right below that you 
   can chose whatever page you want for your home page using the “front page” drop
   down.
 * Let me know if this helps!

 * Hello,
 * so do you want all the links starting from “blog” to “shiedel.com” and the search
   form to look like they are vertically aligned with the logo better?
    If that 
   is the case, I would give your secondary navigation and your search form a padding-
   top: 20px; . That way they will both be brought down some to look more aligned
   with the logo since it is taller.
 * Feel free to let me know if that’s not the effect you want or if you have any
   other questions!
 * Thanks, Max

 * Hi Claxius,
 * there are a couple different ways to achieve this look.
 * There are 3 ways I know of now that are pretty popular. All 3 of them will allow
   you to put multiple items on one horizontal line, and will bring them down to
   a new line on smaller screens where they wont all fit on the same line.
 * The first would be to use the Bootstrap grid system. Bootstrap will allow for
   multiple types of possible grids, and allows a lot of options for how you want
   them to be layed out on different platforms. If you go this route, you would 
   have to link bootstrap to your themes header file and functions.php, but it is
   pretty easy to do and the code to do so is on their site.

   [good article for linking bootstrap to WordPress theme](https://www.zenwebthemes.com/blog/how-to-add-bootstrap-to-your-wordpress-theme/)
 * Another popular method would be to use CSS flexbox. With this method you can 
   give your element a display of flex, and a flex-direction: row;. It is pretty
   simple and will simply bring items down to the next line on screens where all
   the items will not fit on 1 row. From what I gathered from your question, I think
   it may be the best option because of it’s simplicity and effectiveness.

 * The other popular method I know of is using the CSS grid system. I haven’t used
   it much yet, but I believe it is similar to the way Bootsrap works, and it doesn’t
   look too difficult to figure out.
    [CSS grid overview](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_grid.asp)
 * The old way for reference if you for some reason want to go that route, would
   be to use regular CSS. You can wrap all the items in one div that you give a 
   display of inline-block in CSS, and then give all the items an attribute of float:
   left in CSS.
    [Example here](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_inline-block.asp)
 * Was that the type of things your were looking for? Don’t hesitate to hit me up
   if not or if you have any other questions!
 * Thanks, Max
