# Making Changes (Need Help)

 * I’ve done as much as I (think) I can do with the “customize” menu. But there 
   are still some changes I want to make and I need some direction on how/the best
   way to do it.
 *  Here’s the page: [http://www.dogchronicles.net](http://www.dogchronicles.net)
 *  Here are some of the changes I want to make (there will probably be more as 
   I go on, but this is a good start to give you the flavor of the types of changes
   I’m going for).
 *  -Logo: My logo makes a nice banner, but not a nice thumbnail. I really would
   like my logo to stretch across the top of the page above the navbar.
 *  -Navbar: Speaking of the navbar, I would like to even it out a bit. Categories
   will come and go, so I’d like to be able to shuffle things around to keep a nice
   flow to the header area. I have currently 10 navigation links, I would like to
   do 2 rows of 5 each if I have to keep the same width. It would be really cool
   if I could stretch the navbar to match the banner above it. (Ideally these would
   both fit neatly over the entire blog, from left sidebar to right sidebar.)
 *  -Random Icons and Titles: For the posts, I don’t need any icons next to it. 
   The RSS feed would be nice just being an icon unto itself without the added title
   with *it’s* icon too. I really *really* don’t want a file icon and “Category 
   Archives” before my list of posts under a category.
 *  I’m not afraid to tackle CSS, but I’ve never worked in someone else’s files 
   before (always made my own) and would like some direction so I do things properly.
   I like clean and organized mark up as much as the next person. 🙂

 * I suggest you browse through the [Snippets ](http://www.themesandco.com/code-snippets/)
   where you’ll find solutions. Come back for any you can’t find.
 * Use the Search facility to locate suitable snippets.
 * Also some [Guides ](http://www.themesandco.com/customizr/guide-css-html-customizr-wordpress-theme/)
   you may find useful. Look under the Get Started menu item

 * Yeah I found that page earlier (snippets). Looking forward to going through it.
 *  The guide is helpful, as earlier I was trying to find out where I could find
   their selector names. Thanks!
 *  I guess the follow up question here, is if I choose to do a child css file, 
   is that the [plugin](http://www.themesandco.com/extension/customizr-child-theme/)
   I can just download and install or do I have to do it manually in file manager?
 *  (I’m assuming the rest of it can be done in the custom css option they give 
   you, if I don’t want to do child.)
 *  Thanks for such a quick reply!

 * Go for the Child Theme as it will help you as you add more customisation.
 * Yes, that’s the right extension to use.
