This is an attempt to use a WordPress theme…

  • Background: I attempted to use WordPress themes earlier this year on my main domain at BlueHost. It became so confusing that I quit using WordPress.

    Now I have created 4 sub-domains and I have installed WordPress to each of these four. One will be a store and the other three will be blogs.

    I am presently attempting to create one of the blogs. I chose the theme “Twenty Twelve”. I have uploaded an image as the background and that looks fine. I have uploaded another image as header and it shows up fine as well. However, there are texts above this image that become redundant.

    My blog will be entitled “inspirations” and then I want a static page directly under the header image where I can type my front page. Also, if there has to be a hyperlink button near the top that points “home”, I want it to point to my inspirational directory that is in my main domain.

    My questions:
    How do I place only ONE text at the top of this page, being “inspirations”?

    How do I change that “home” link so it goes to the inspirational directory in my main domain?

    Thank you Andrew for the url. I’ll go over and check it out.

    WPyogi, I’m coming to that conclusion as well as just spent several hours reading all I could find on the Woothemes.

    As for what isn’t working, I think it is me. I can read about a theme, draw the conclusion that it doesn’t sound that difficult, then start working it (even using tutorials found) and that’s when so much gets confusing. (Example: I spent hours trying to get links onto a side bar only to learn the links were a default for that theme and were contained in the menu which was located in the header. That type of thing makes my head spin. Now maybe that theme actually gave that important piece of information; but I didn’t find it.)

    I am just so concrete that, when a theme tells me to do something without first telling me what I needed to do first in order to make what it was telling me to do work, I get lost! To me that is like constructing some stairs and trying to place the steps on before the foundation.

    All I know to do is continue trying; however, I’m so depressed about it now that I need a break. So I’ll take a few days and work on the roof of my barn, staying away from networking for awhile. Maybe then I can return with more energy.

    I appreciate all the help you people in here have given me. Thank you very much.
