I think he means at the top of the index some included content, like a strap line or intro paragraph, similiar to this other theme I made for someone a bit ago: https://www.barkandfitzottawa.com/. On the index you’ll find the first paragraph is static. To do this you need to add it in the index.php file (Main Template), something like this:
<!--this is normal WP-->
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<!--this is my added fixed div-->
<div id="strap">
<h2 class="pagetitle"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h2>
<p><img class="right" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/themes/barknfitz/images/i_main.jpg" width="250" height="160" alt="<?=$SN1 ?>" /></p>
<h3><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h3>
<p><?php include("strap_text.php"); // I included the content ?></p>
<div class="hr"><hr /></div>
</div>
<!--this is normal WP-->
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
I added that whole block in the middle and there’s some PHP in there for client stuff I did so they can maintain it with ease. If we take all that out, though, what we’re left with are the essentials you really need:
<div id="strap">
<h2 class="pagetitle">Blog Name or Whatever</h2>
<p>Content, image, etc</p>
</div>
That would go between the top and bottomm, like so:
<!--this is normal WP-->
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<div id="strap">
<h2 class="pagetitle">Blog Name or Whatever</h2>
<p>Content, image, etc</p>
</div>
<!--this is normal WP-->
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
Style #strap in your CSS if needed.
