 * I have a WordPress site and know nothing about it’s creation.
 * I just want to add a line of text. Not a link. just a few words in a specific
   part of the page.
 * The page templates look like Greek to me. Could someone please tell me:
 * 1. Which template to add the text to (“main index template” ?)
    2. How to format
   it 3. and if needed, what to put in the .css in order to position it correctly
 * ??? please????

 * It would help if you post the url here so people could take a look.

 * When you click on the image it moves on to the next image… great! But there’s
   nothing that tells the user to do that.
 * So if I could just add a small line of text that says:
 * “click image to advance to the next image” (or something like that)
 * Ideally, it could sit under the image, right-aligned , just above the dotted 
   line, same style as the contact information.
 * Thanks!

 * Seems like you’re using a custom theme. I guess editing it should be fine. You
   can add this code on the footer.php just after the opening footer div.
 *     ```
       <div id="click-image-text">
       click image to advance to the next image
       </div>
       ```
   
 * then position and design it using this css
 *     ```
       #click-image-text {
          display: inline-block;
          float: right;
          margin-top: -14px;
       }
       ```

 * thanks!!!
 * OK… so i’m pasting the text into the Footer.php file (via WordPresses Edit Themes
   panel)
 * and then I click “update” and it reverts back to the previous state. My new text
   is gone!
 * Any ideas?
