Check out these links: this and this.

Do you mean the theme for the website?

In that case you can check it
– under appearance/themes on your dashboard if you can log in to your site or
– on this website.

Check the page template that is set for your blog page (‘web articles’) under pages on your dashboard. For the most themes different templates are selectable to change the layout of the page. You should verify whether the same template is used for this page as for the static ones.

Check your settings on the dashboard.

If there is an update for the twenty eleven theme and you haven’t made any changes to it directly, you can use the WP updater on the dashboard. It’s safe if you’re using a child theme (as you mentioned).

If you’re going to upload:
– search for the themes folder (wp-content/themes)
– leave your child theme folder unchanged
– delete the existing twentyeleven folder (wp-content/themes/twentyeleven)
– upload the new twentyeleven folder in wp-content/themes

You should make a child theme to modify your theme safely.

You can try to put the following CSS code in your childe theme’s style.css file:

.entry-content a {
color: #999;
}

This will give you the same color for the link in the text as in the date and author link below the post title.
If you want it to be underlined than you should add the following instead

.entry-content a {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #999;
}
.entry-content a:hover,
.entry-content a:active {
text-decoration: underline;
}

You can change the color by changing #999 to any other hex color code.

Isn’t there a theme options menu under appearance? There, you should be able to choose link color.
It depends on the theme though, your theme might not be supporting it.

Don’t forget to set your menu to the right theme location (manage locations tabs in the ‘menus’ menu).
See also this thread.

If you use WP 3.6 already, you find the theme locations (‘manage locations’) above, the second tab (so not on the left) under appearance/menus.

A better place to ask this question is on the theme’s free forum.

Menus can be created for all WordPress themes that support custom navigation menus:
Go to Appearance/menus on the dashboard. Create 2 menus and assign each to the right ‘theme locations’ (on the left). For the responsive theme, it should be something like ‘main menu’ and ‘submenu’.

That depends on your theme.

You can do it by CSS: add some code to not display it. That may be the simplest way if you use a child theme.

I could possibly help if you sent your site’s URL.

I am probably not the right person to explain that. ??

You could always try using a plugin, although I never tried that myself. For example: WP Custom Category Pages, Map Categories to Pages, …
I don’t know how these plugins handle or whether they affect the permalinks.

If you have some experience with WP, it is possible to make a template file or a page template that show only posts from the ‘How-to’ category (a modified Loop) and to apply this template to your ‘How-to’ page.
Does your theme have special templates? You could check that for a start.

You could change the name ‘category’ to something else under Permalinks if the word ‘category’ is the problem. You could give it a more relevant name that fits your content.

That is the easiest way.

You can simply make a menu item for the category ‘How-to’ under appearance/menu on the dashboard. You can give it a different name if you like. If you add it to your main menu, a page will be shown with only your posts from the category ‘How-to’.

So you don’t have to make an actual page. That’s all done by WordPress.

Try

#sidebar-footer {
border-top: none;
}

for the border above the footer.

You should use a child theme and insert this CSS code into your child theme’s style.css.
