   I am creating an online newspaper for the county I live in. I set up your 'Blog Times' template and love the way it works so far. I have a couple of questions though.

   1: I love the typestyle on the header, but some of my readers say that it is hard to read as headlines. Where can I adjust that?

   2: I have a logo I created for the old template (Joomla) that I was using. Is there any way to incorporate it into the header?

   3 Is there any way to turn off the sponsor space in the middle slider? I am willing to purchase a license for the template if it is necessary?

   Thanks in advance for your time.

   Next time post url first, specify WP version, specify BP version, specify theme version.

   1.
   open header php file, find line 26, remove h2,h3,h4,h5

   2.
   open header php file, find line 103, replace <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> with your img tag.

   3.
   open slide php file, find line 4 and delete all from line 4 to 10.

   Your theme looks great now that I have it set up. One more question........ are these themes not dynamic, as in if you zoom in or out the layout stays the same. Seems that with different screens the sections move around and get distorted. Is there any way to set it so it won't do this.

   Thank you in advance:

   BlogTimes is a responsive fluid theme, means it adjusts itself on brower width,
   however there is no explicit mobile css defined,

   you can easily add that with following steps:
   1.
   add following lines to the header php file
   which references a mobile css
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/mobi.css" media="handheld" />
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/mobi.css" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" />

   2.
   download style.css to your hd, rename it to mobi.css,
   adjust boxes and other css rules to your likings,
   and upload to theme folder (same dir as style.css)
   an example from css line 148:

   original:
   #contentmiddle {
   border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
   float: left;
   margin: 0 10px 0 0;
   padding: 10px 5px 5px 12px;
   width: 46%;
   }
   change to:
   #contentmiddle {
   border-right: 0px solid #CCCCCC;
   float:none;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 10px 0 ;
   width: 100%; display:block;clear:both;
   }

   this way mobile browsers would use the mobi.css instead of the original css.

    Please forgive my ignorance, is there a place or line in particular I should place Step 1?

    Best way to place it is under the first call to the style css.
