Jonathan,

You actually take care of both items in the same place. Go to the appearance section and select widgets. Here you can remove the default widgets (small content blocks) that WordPress adds automatically and replace them with the ones you’d like to have.

The contact widget has the business hours from the demo. Just drag that widget to the area you’d like to have it visible and fill in the appropriate info for your business. Once your finished, click save on the widget you’re working with.

If you have any trouble, let me know,
Bill

Awesome. Check it out…looks great. http://www.jnorris.net

Three more small things…

1. Can I move the post on the front page down so I can see my face?

2. How do I remove the “March 24, 2012 / admin / Make A Comment / Uncategorized” information that comes with the post so its clean like yours..

3. For some reason the Welcome title on the front is a little smaller…I may want to make it bigger like on your example http://www.organizedthemes.com/try/foxy/

Awesome Awesome Awesome
Thanks so much :)))

Jonathan,

Glad that worked. Let me see if I can help you with these other issues.

1. You can move that down. Here’s what to do:

1. Go to the theme options page and select the the styling tab.
2. Choose “yes” at the top to include custom styling.
3. Scroll down to the bottom until you see a box for Custom CSS and paste this into the box:

   
   header {
   	margin-bottom: 270px;
   }
   

4. Save your changes.

That should move the content down below your face. If you’d like to adjust it a bit more, edit the 270 to a different pixel value for how far it is between the header bar and the main content.

2. Remove the post details. You can do that with just a bit of theme editing. Here’s how.

1. Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose index.php and look for this spot:

   <p class=”post-meta”><?php the_time(‘F j, Y’); ?> / <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> / #comments”><?php comments_number(__(‘Make A Comment’, ‘organizedthemes’), __(‘1 Comment’, ‘organizedthemes’), __(‘% Comments’, ‘organizedthemes’)); ?> / </p>

3. Replace that with this:

4. Save your changes.
5. Next open up single.php and make the same change there.
6. Save your changes.

That should take out the post details for you.

---

3. The “Welcome Title” is actually the first post in a possible list of posts, so its title is a bit smaller. You can make it the same size by adding this to your Custom CSS box in the theme options page:

h2.title {
	font-size: 36px;
}

---

If you have any other questions or trouble, please let me know.

Enjoy your week,
Bill
