Hey hey,

I recenlty changed to a static page on my site: http://www.house-techno-electronica-music.com..

Now I’m thinking I want to do one of two things in the heading section – in between the bottom of the slider and the posts pulled through into the static page

1) remove heading space completely, thus pulling up the posts; or

2) reducing the height and just having a title eg electronic music news…

Both mean that I pull up content to above the fold a bit more…

Can you help with this?

not tryin to bump here, just an afterthought –

3) also you can’t read the excerpt text in the posts, cos it’s gray. I have tried fiddling with the colours, but I can’t seem to find the right colour to tweak or add a background to them but still retain gaps in between for the background of the whole site… any ideas?

For number three, try this custom CSS:

.homepage_pane .post-excerpt p {

color: #0000FF;

margin-bottom: 10px;

}

There is a lot of contrast in your background image, which makes it difficult to find a suitable color.

For your #content-main background, you might want to use a semi-transparent image. So some of your main background would show through, but not enough that it makes it difficult to read text.

I wouldn’t do this. People expect to see a header image there.

That “above the fold” stuff really depends on the size of the monitor. I work on a laptop with a fairly small monitor, so with most of the websites I visit, most everything is below the fold. If the content is interesting and the design is arresting, people will scroll down.

Thanks, yet again Kenneth.

Really appreciate the time, effort and support. I love Graphene.

I think you’ve started a whole other philosophical debate on above / below the fold.

To be honest I’d thought that actually I need to increase the opacity of the background image a bit on PShop. Thanks for the code …
