Why don’t you post a link to the image you want to use as your header image.
Is there another way to get this image onto the right side of the header.
Not really. But what do you mean “right side of the header”?
Post that image link and I think we’ll be able to get to the bottom of this.
Okay, you are using a child theme. But which version of Graphene is this based on? Have you fully updated to 1.6.2 yet?
I want the readers fully focused on the content.
Yes, yes, YES! (That’s all I’m going to say about that, because I could go on for ages about this topic.)
Does the header look fine? Or does it look to amateurish?
The header is clean, simple, and unambiguous. That is everyone’s goal, I think.
Do you think light-blue color looks OK on the sidebar, or does it look out of place because of orange header text?
I think it looks fine, but it does clash a little with the orange. Here’s a site that will give you some pleasing color combinations:

Play around with the options on there. It’s a lot of fun.
Do you think the background image is OK for the website, or do you think it should be darker, maybe like the default one?
The background image is a little busy, but if you set this to “fixed” rather than “scroll” in your background settings (look at “Attachment”), I think it will look fine.
Is the content text easy to read
I am not a fan of sans-serif fonts for text (even on the internet) because they lack style — and Arial is one of the worst. I use Tahoma on my blog, even though not everybody may have it on their computer. I’ll take just about anything over Arial or Helvetica, which were designed for print (and where they look more or less fine).
(if you ignore that it’s Latin)
😉 — Non est Latine.
But you are not using the Graphene theme, so that fix wouldn’t work for a different theme.
You don’t need a custom header to change the menu item color. You can change all of those via CSS by targeting their unique ID.
Read this post:

and then use Firebug to figure out the unique ID for each menu item. When you have it, you can style things like this:
#menu-item-000 {color:#FFFFFF; background:#000000;}except you would replace the ‘000’ bit with each items unique ID number.
because my menu is now split on two rows
Your menu is on one row in FF11. Did you get this fixed?
In reply to: Trying to create single column page with custom css and php
March 25, 2012 at 3:30 pm #26874If it is a page (and not a post), just use the “Page Attributes” on the right side of the editing pane to select “one column, no sidebar”
You can add inline styling to a page/post if you are using the HTML editor, but you cannot add PHP.
I don’t know code or even want to know.
Well, you’re going to need to know a little if you want to customise beyond what Graphene already offers, but in this case…
I added the image to media but don’t see an option to add it to my header
I assume you meant the media gallery here, right? Actually, just go to Appearance >> Header and upload your image there. Just make sure that it is 960 x 198 pixels in size.
What will the length and format be? Are you going to include the text, or link to a .pdf of the press release?
A full press release seems a little long to include in a text widget, even if it’s only a half page long, which is why I mentioned .pdf’s. You can always upload those (I think you need a plugin to upload a .pdf to the media gallery, although I may be wrong) and then you can just link to them.
There are also a number of facebook plugins that people use. You might want to look through some of the sites on the Showcase, and if you see something that you like, you can often use your browser’s “View Source” function to see which plugin they are using.
Enclose it in a
<div>with inline styling to align it however you wish.Read this:
