In reply to: importing ww.wp.xz.cn blog into wordpress.comThanks! When I go to wordpress.com and claim my blog name, should I continue with the rest of the steps like choosing a theme right then? Or should I just choose the name and then import my blog and choose a theme after?
When choosing a theme, should I look for something that is visually similar? Or should I just pick something that has the same features as my previous theme?
Do you recommend backing up my blog before doing any of this? Where can I find instructions on how to do that?
Thanks so much for your help!

In reply to: importing ww.wp.xz.cn blog into wordpress.comThank you! Do I need to map the domain to the wordpress.com blog? If I choose that route, I still need to renew the domain name with go daddy, but just not the hosting is that right?
If I want to avoid paying any money, could I just go to wordpress.com and see if http://www.inloveinlondon.wordpress.com is available and create that and then move the files over to that?
Will this only work if my theme is supported by or compatbile with wordpress.com?
Thanks!

In reply to: "About" pageThanks for the response. My theme was a free them from WordPress, I don’t understand why it’s not a supported theme anymore. How do I contact the developer directly?

In reply to: linking header to homepageHi Redrambles, I tried that and it seemed to work! Thanks very much for all your help!
Radices, I don’t know how to use a component inspectors or FireBug.

In reply to: linking header to homepageHi Radices, I went to Dashboard>appearance>editor and enabled editing.
This message is typed in the text:“DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
If you need to overwrite the CSS styling, create a new custom_style.css
in the theme folder and it will automatically load in the <head>.”So am I really supposed to change it? The message still appeared when on the top right of the page I followed: select theme to edit>Themify Base>select>styles>stylesheet (style.css).
I did find the part you are referring to above, I was just hesitant to change it. Also, when you say to take out the padding line, do you mean delete the whole line like this?
#header {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
height: auto;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc;
}Thanks! Andrea

In reply to: linking header to homepageHi! It works to link the header back to homepage, although I feel like there is a lot of white space around the logo. (I liked the appearance of it before.)
I uploaded my picture to the site logo under logo image and set pixels at 1000 x 350. My image which has a white background showed up, but did not fill up the whole grey box. So then I went to header and under header wrap chose white as the background so that they grey box did not show. I just wonder if there is a way to make my logo fit that space a bit better and reduce the amount of white on the top and bottom of the logo. I couldn’t seem to find anything that allows you to change the size of the site logo.
Thanks so much for solving the image linking issues! Any ideas for the white space on either end?
Andrea

In reply to: linking header to homepageThanks for your response. I tried what you said, but ran into two issues.
1) I set up my site image under “Header” not “site logo & tag line”, (Appearance -> customize -> themify options -> header) so when I entered the URL under the custom site logo link in site logo and tagline, it didn’t work. Did I set my site image up the wrong way?
2) I tried uploading my image to the site logo and tagline box like you show in your screen shot. It created a little copy of my site image on top of the one I already had, which would obviously need to be rectified, but when I tested the link out, it said 404 Page not found. So the link did not seem to work. When you say to do the home page url is it just “www.inloveinlondon.com” or something longer?
Thanks!
