Hi

Do you plan to put some support material at http://prothemedesign.com/support/elemental-help/ similar to the documentation for Mimbo-Pro at http://prothemedesign.com/support/mimbo-pro-help/?

Thanks

Chablo

No worries :)

We're actually working on a brand new, considerably more comprehensive, set of documentation which will hopefully make customising the theme a lot easier

Found the sidebar nearest to the main content but why was it named center homepage column? Don't get that.

Anyways keep up the good work...I'd love to have a left sidebar, can someone help me with that please.

Not sure Ben, but how do you adjust the size of that center column plus how do you put in a left sidebar?

Ben or Darren. I would love help with the following with regards to your elemental theme.

1. Resizing the post titles
2. I need a left sidebar and two right sidebars both on the home page and the single post page.
3. how do i insert a header image?

If I can achieve these I'll be good. This is the fastest loading theme I ever come across.

1. This can be found in layout.css, though I'm assuming you're editing a child theme (strongly recommended) since Elemental is essentially just a framework. See line 444:

.home .post.postCount-1 h2, .singlePost.interior h1 {
font-size:2.4em;
}

2. Again, if you're using a child theme, you could just copy the relevant columns from index.php over to single.php.

3. On line 201 of layout.css, you'll see a #header which you can change the background to something like:

background: url(images/myheader.jpg) no-repeat;

Again as before, if you plan on installing future upgrades of Elemental and want to take advantage of the feautres, I would avoid editing the core files and create a child theme. I'd also install Firebug for Firefox which is a great tool for identifying which styles get applied to which elements. Firebug is definitely a lifesaver.

Re: the categories widget, you can change the spacing/padding in styles.css, line 470.

not using a child theme by the way
