Drop this into your style.css

#site-title {
     width: 100%;
     text-align: center;
     font-family: your-font, times, serif;
     font-size: 30px
}

The only search box I found was in the header. Try removing this conditional statement from the header.php file –

<?php
	// Has the text been hidden?
	if ( 'blank' == get_header_textcolor() ) :
	?>
	<div class="only-search<?php if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) : ?> with-image<?php endif; ?>">
	<?php get_search_form(); ?>
	</div>
	<?php
	else :
	?>
	<?php get_search_form(); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

How are you adding the facebook like button to your site?

Without knowing how the styling is set up, I would just try looking for the styles using something life Firebug and edit the style.css to replace the target font style with the style that you want.

This might be what you’re looking for.

How does it retrieve the posts? Does it just grab recent posts from a category or do you specify the posts that you want on a settings page?

It sounds like you want to be editing the header.php template file. You can either add HTML code directly in the template, or you can register and add a widget sidebar and add the html content in a text widget.

You can update TwentyEleven still, but you wouldn’t get any of the benefit of the updated theme if you had once copied every file from a previous version of the theme into your child theme. The idea is that the child theme will automatically use template files from the parent theme unless you overwrite those template files by adding them to the child theme.

That’s very strange. Have you tried reinstalling the theme?

It would be possible, but that would defeat the purpose of having a child theme.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t sound like the theme is at fault here. Try server settings, file permissions, etc.

Yes, if you’ve edited the header.php template file then you would put that file in the directory of the child theme. You can also add the styles from the stylesheet file in the parent theme to the child theme’s stylesheet file.

Under appearance in the widgets settings page, you can put the html in a text widget and drag the widget to the sidebar that you want it to show up on.

You should upload its original zip file to avoid weird problems. That is a very weird and contradictory message. Try removing all the iterations of Icarus and upload only the zip file through the dashboard.

Without writing the code here, what I would do is use get categories to return all the categories that have posts in an array. Then I would use WP_Query and iterate through all the categories in the array for the recent post in that category.
