    I just love this theme, and it will be perfect for the website I want to make.

    I have never ever used WordPress before, I am such a beginner.
    And, oh what a beginner… I cant even get this simple thing to work.

    I downloaded the theme, great. But I can not get to look like I want. I may need a WordPress-theme-Spun-for-dummies-tutorial, I know (but when I upload a different theme it work ok).

    But I really want the “circles”. Cant get that to work. I made several different pages and thought the “circle thing” to solve it self, but no. And I really dont understand what went wrong.

    Do I need to upload picures direct into the “circles”? And where do I do that?

    Anyone out there who can explain like you would to a small child? I dont know any of the lingo so to speak..

    Ok. Deleted both.

    I would prefer to have my logo in the handwritten looking font, will give that a go again.
    Any advice?

    Do you guys know how to get the circles to link with pages instead of Posts?

    Image in the circles. It works ok now, ok to use posts insted of pages.

    But could be good to know anyway, I might change my mind.

    Thank you guys! I really appreciate all the help!!!

    AND image as the logo, wich is a image with text but in another font… clear?

    FIND THIS in style.css ( apparence-> editor )

    #masthead img {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 1em;
    max-height: 75px;
    width: auto;
    }

    AND REPLACE WITH THIS

    #masthead img {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 1em;
    //max-height: 75px;
    //width: auto;
    }

    UPLOAD A BIG LOGO at least 300 or 400 of width
    do this and let me know and i can take a look again

    Changed the code, but I do not have access to Photoshop or any program where I can remake and enlarge my logo.

    When I upload it to wordpress it’s just very tiny and does not really look like my original… To idea to change the font i WordPress I guess, other computerns wont be able to see the font since it is not a common one?

    u have to download a plugin :

    WordPress Font Uploader Free

    and set it

    @alocin82 was on the right track with this, but you can’t use double-slashes to comment out CSS. This should remove the width/height restriction on the masthead image and allow it to display at whatever size you upload:

    #masthead img {
      max-height: none;
    }

    Add the above to a CSS plugin (like Jetpack) or child theme. Fair warning, I don’t know how this will affect the rest of the layout, since the header isn’t designed to accomodate a larger image. You may need to make additional changes to the CSS to make it look like you want. I recommend using Firebug for work like this–makes it much easier.

    @caroline Thanks ??

    I have a short question if I may ??

    I love the theme, just one thing bothering me, the text colors in my posts and menu are just too light and somehow I just can’t seem to change it in the css. I tried replacing #999 with #000 but no results.
    It must be a little thing I’m overlooking…hope one can help me out…took a long time to find this theme, would be a shame if I had to drop it just because of the text colors.

    p.s…happy holidays!

    How do I change the default opacity of the Circles on the Spun Theme?

    @caramella and @danathese forums really work much better if you start your own threads. You’ll also be more likely to get help that way – as unanswered threads are more likely to be answered by people helping out here. It will also help people help you if you include a link to your site in your new thread post(s).
