    For a Tumblr blog that I am planning to move to WP, I think that Wintersong Pro would be the ideal solution.

    However, as the title of the blog is a few words long, it does not really look nice in the sidebar.

    While using the sidebar (below the photo) for search, menu, links, I feel that the best solution would be to have the blog title at the top of the main content area. (I could also consider creating a banner for that purpose, but I would first try with simple text.)

    Is there any way to insert easily the title of the blog (or a banner) at the top of the main area (since I can easily deactivate the title showing in the sidebar)?

    Any trick to reach that would be much appreciated!

    Adding the following to functions.php will move the site title:

    remove_action( 'genesis_site_title', 'genesis_seo_site_title' );
    add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_seo_site_title' );

    Thank you very much for your kindness in answering my question.

    The only problem is that, when I add the suggested code to functions.php and then attempt to access the test site, I just get a blank page. Same when I attempt to access the WP control panel. As soon as I remove that piece of code, everything is back to normal.

    Thus it seems that the code disrupts something crucial?

    The code works fine. I tested it in my local environment before I posted here. The most likely causes for it not working on your site is that the straight quotes were converted to curly quotes in your editor, you left off the semi-colon at the end of the line, or you placed in the wrong place in functions.php. It doesn't take much for PHP not to work. Check the php error log on your server. It should show you the exact error.

    Thank you for coming back to me.

    You are absolutely right: there was an issue with a converted character that I had not noticed. Sorry for the trouble, next time I will carefully compare the code I insert with the code that has been sent to me!

    Your trick works fine, the page will look exactly as I want it to.

    I thank you very much for your kind help, this is much appreciated. I had played with other themes, but this is really the one matching my blog best, thus I am very happy to be able to use it.
