   on individual posts/pages, and the title above the featured image as well.. and
   lastly there is an error in my theme code where it says i must fix before updating
   or it might break my site.

 * Hi and thank you for contacting us.
 * In order to center the title above the featured image, please add this to Customize-
   > Additional CSS
 *     ```
       h1.entry-title {
           text-align: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * As far as I can tell, the image itself on any individula page is already centered.
   If you’re referring to [http://cassidyalexa.com/2017/12/31/the-magic-of-elfing/](http://cassidyalexa.com/2017/12/31/the-magic-of-elfing/)
   it is most likely caused by centering image left in the post editor.
 * Regarding that error message, could you please tell me where exactly you’re getting
   it?

 * I do not want to update my css for fear of site breaking due to error message.
   I can email you the image of the message if you’d like. The warning in the editor
   in dashboard says:
 * There is 1 error which must be fixed before you can update this file.
    Update
   anyway, even though it might break your site?
 * The ‘x’ is next to:
 * 587: .woocommerce-info::before { color: #66; }
 * And there are exclamation marks next to A LOT of the numbers (is that bad?)
 * I.e.:
    51: .block-title span:after{content:””;position:absolute;left:0;top:50%;
   margin-top:-2px;width:20px;height:4px;border-top:1px solid #c4c4c4;border-bottom:
   1px solid #c4c4c4}
 * 101:.gallery {margin: 0 -1.1666667% 1.75em;}
    .gallery-item { display: inline-
   block; max-width: 33.33%; padding: 0 1.1400652% 2.2801304%; text-align: center;
   vertical-align: top; width: 100%; }
 * 134: bootstrap-select > .btn{border-color:#f1f1f1;background-color:#fafafa;color:#
   545454;padding:6px 12px;height:34px;font-size:12px;font-style:italic;text-transform:
   none}
 * And many more exclamations next to other numbers.
 * I also want to make it so that in the blog feed the title comes BEFORE the featured
   image. And so that the post titles are a little larger than they are now. I would
   like to have an option to either center or left the feature image, and the option
   to hide or show it.
 * Also in my ‘social’ widget at the bottom id like to make the twitter,facebook,
   instagram icons larger.

 * I also want to be able to have the option on individual posts to have the sidebar
   either visibile or invisible. I also want to make the text size of the CREATURES,
   EXPLAIN etc. On the right larger.

 * Ok, I’ll try to explain some things and offer some solutions.
 * First thing first. You’re trying to edit theme’s CSS file directly and that’s
   a bad idea. First, you might break something in the layout and second, once the
   theme gets updated all those changes will get lost.
 * That’s why you should always make CSS changes using Customize -> Additional CSS.
 * Now to help you out with some of your customization requests.
 * In order to make social icons bigger, please add this to Customize -> Additional
   CSS
 *     ```
       .widget ul > li > a, .widget ul > li > span > a {
       	font-size: 18px;
       }
       ```
   
 * To increase the size of titles in the sidebar add this:
 *     ```
       .widget ul > li > a, .widget ul > li > span > a {
       	font-size: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * And to increase the font size of blog posts titles, use this:
 *     ```
       h3 {
       	font-size: 16px;
       }
       ```
   
 * In all three cases, adjust the **px** value as you feel like.
 * The most of your other customisation requests would require a direct change of
   theme files.
 * Could you try this and let me know how it goes?

 * Ok so actually I don’t want to change the way it looks right now. I want to make
   sure it doesn’t break. How can i just keep it the way it looks? I already edited
   some stuff and i guess broke it somehow. But im not sure if it even updated.
 * My site is [http://www.cassidyalexa.com](http://www.cassidyalexa.com) how do 
   i ensure it stays the way it looks now? I dont know if any of my updating even
   worked… i am just so scared now to update because i dont remember what i did..
   all i know is that the error message tells me not to update… but i want to fix
   whatever is broken. How do i now update it and ensure that it doesn’t break? 
   And ensure that it looks the exact same as it does now?
