Which wording are you referring to? The "Do you need more clients" text, the "You can't afford bad website content text", an item in the main navigation menu, or something else?
mickmelMemberIt seems you were able to get this sorted out, yes?
mickmelMemberScott -- Things are a bit messy in there right now, but the following should work:
near line 1069 (.title-area), set the width to 340px
near line 1127 (.site-header .widget-area) set the width to 580px;
This will have them side-by-side again.
Back in the previous area (.site-header .widget-area) add "margin-top: 50px;" to move it down
You may want to play with that 50px, but it should be about right. The one catch is that it'll add extra padding on mobile devices, so look near line 2221 (.genesis-nav-menu, .nav-primary...) and "margin-top: 0px;"
That should get you pretty close.
mickmelMemberThere's not a great way to do it. A plugin like WPtouch would give you a mobile version, but it can be a bit cumbersome. Really, your best bet would be to pick a new theme that is mobile responsive (and virtually every StudioPress theme is now) and dig into it. Your content (pages/posts) will move over, but it'll certainly take some time to customize the look and feel to your liking.
Short-term it'll be a pain, but long-term that'll be your best bet.
mickmelMemberI'm not seeing this problem; nothing is in the header. Your most recent post seems to be "Out of the way places...", which doesn't seem to be showing up anywhere on the home page.
mickmelMemberAre you still having trouble with this? It appears to be resolved now.
mickmelMemberThe native widget will allow you to choose a specific menu. For styling, use a plugin like "Widget CSS Classes" to manually assign a class to that widget which you can then control via CSS.
mickmelMemberJust insert a "link" in the menu; the "link text" can accept custom HTML to add some style, images, etc.
mickmelMemberYou can test sites here: http://tools.pingdom.com/
The two numbers I like to look at are "requests" and "page size". Ideally I like to see requests under 50 and page size around 500kB or so, but it really depends on what your goals are.
The Instagram widget would help a bit; easing her server load is never a bad idea. However, you'd still be forcing users to pull down all of that data and the overall site speed would continue to suffer.
mickmelMemberYep, good move with Soliloquy. Great plugin from a solid developer.
I would frame the conversation with her as to why she should have ANY slides on the site, then go up from there. There is somewhere around 50 (!!!) slides on the home page right now, which is making my brain hurt. 🙂 Trying to talk down from there will be tough, and going from 50 to 40 isn't gonna solve the issues.
That said, nice job making it all come together and function smoothly.
mickmelMemberI'm seeing 27 images down there, so apparently you got it fixed. Not sure why you are loading them at 600x400, though, when that area down there is looking for images at 357x241.
On a related note, you might want to show a whole lot fewer of them. That home page measures in at 18mb (or roughly 20-50x bigger than ideal). It'll be tough to rank well in Google for anything, and I feel bad for anyone that tries to load the site on a mobile device. Unless you feel that people will actually scroll to the bottom of page and watch 27 photos go by, I'd advise you to cut it down to 2 or 3 (or even just one) and try to get things running more quickly for your users.
mickmelMemberStill not seeing it in the custom.css file:
http://buddytation.com/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/custom.cssmickmelMemberWhat is the URL of your site?
mickmelMemberToward the bottom of your stylesheet are media queries that control how things look on smaller screen sizes, like this:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) {In one of those sections, depending on where it's an issue, add in another font change so that it'll shrink at that point.
mickmelMemberThe latest post in culture (Greek Feta Pizza...) is on the home page. I guess you solved it?
mickmelMemberThe easiest way would be to set up an alternate email address on gravatar, and then use that address on this one particular site.
mickmelMemberFor the spacing, play with the "margin-top" setting near line 470 in your style.css. Reducing that number should allow you to tighten things up. Not sure about the responsive images, though.
mickmelMemberIt looks like this is already fixed, yes?
mickmelMemberJess -- Remove the "min-height" from roughly line 868 in the style.css and it should take care of it.
