I am new to the blogging world and I very interested in purchasing a theme from Organic Themes. I wanted to know if the themes are easy to customize without the help of a 3rd party customizer? I simply want to change the color scheme (Black & Lime green) and add a nice background. Would this be an easy task? I am thinking of getting the Block theme.

like a chef starts out in the kitchen and cooks, and cuts all the pieces himself, then when he knows how its done he hires other people to do it for him and then just makes the corrections, because he now knows the taste!
Well Done! i think you are progressing! (me too, and im also loving the Bold theme – even considering to use wordpress as opposed to my usual joomla platform for this one!)

Thanks a lot for your help. Now I know what should be in that space and how it should be placed there. Thanks very much.

However, as you also indicated, the featured image also appears above the first article, and I, too, have no idea how to get rid of it.

Could anyone please help Erica and me?

What that space is for is a “Featured Image”.

When you go to make or edit a post, check out the very bottom right hand corner of the screen. This is where the option for a Featured Image is. By setting an image as the featured image, it will be placed in that space above the main blog space.

It’s actually really annoying that the Featured Image on top is then repeated as the blog image directly below it. Does anyone know how to make these different pictures?

I hope this was helpful!

Erica
