leejosepho: I don’t know a lot about this but I think you’re right. Should I create a header.php file in the child theme?

I would like it to work on mobile devices. That’s more important to me.

I’m thinking I should maybe leave it on the left and either remove my title and tag line or create a new logo with my actual logo, title and tag line all in one jpg file.

It worked on my laptop but the iPad gets messed up. I would imagine the iphone will be worse. Can it be fixed?

All the way. Basically it’s sitting in the perfect spot but it needs to be on the right side, not the left.

I found the info here:

He relocated the header photo. So I put my logo as the header and added the code to the css file in the child theme. It’s good but I need to move it from the left to the right.

The first goal here was to get my logo up top. I’ve done this now by adding this code (I got from searching) below @import…

img.header-image {
border-radius:0;
box-shadow:0 0 0 rgba(0,0,0,0);
position:absolute;
top:65px;
}
.site-header {
padding-top:2rem;
}

It’s worked except my logo is on the left side of the page and I want it on the right. What do I need to add/change to make this happen?

Sweet! Nice catch WPyogi! I don’t know how that happened but it’s fixed. Site looks like it should again. Thanks very much to both of you for your help.

Now, I just need to figure out how to get the logo set up on the top right and some social media links at the top center.

Well, this might be too much for me. I’ve activated it and set some options but aside from a colour and a photo it’s looking the same. Like a site map.

I did a live preview and the site looks like a site map. Is this correct?

OK. Renamed my folder twentytwelvechild so now it resides beside my twentytwelve folder. I’ve renamed the file style.css. It’s now showing up in the themes with an activate option.

It’s named mychild2012. I thought you wanted it the same name as the folder. Should it be style.css?

You’re very good at explaining. Thank you. I’ve created the folder which is now amongst the various theme folders I have loaded into WP. Was it supposed to be “in” the twenty twelve folder? It’s not at the moment. I created the file inside the folder as instructed.

Looking at my site nothing has changed. Looking at my Themes page it’s showing my2012child theme at the bottom as being “broken” as it’s missing the stylesheet. What have I missed?

Thanks very much! It doesn’t seem hard to do and the instructions are very clear. Unfortunately, I really new to this so I don’t understand all the terms and how they apply. I hate being such a newbie. I will have to find someone to explain this to me.
