This Custom CSS works great:
.blog .carousel-inner .carousel-caption {
background: transparent;
min-width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
.blog .carousel-caption h1,
.blog .carousel-caption .lead {
display: none;
}
.blog #customizr-slider .btn-primary {
background: transparent;
color: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-shadow: none;
}
The only problem that I have at this point is that it is only functional if the website is accessed on a computer, but the code does not comply with the website when it is visited on a smart phone (i.e. iPhone). The link itself is restricted to the top of the slide.
