Logo to LEFT of Site Title and Tagline

Hi there,

Something like this?

Let me know :)

I think I'll go with the idea of adding the logo and title together in the image.

However, how can I get the buffers reduced to remove all the blank space?

Also - how can I remove that block below the front page image? I have 1 full page block, then 3 widgets under that. I want to remove that fulll page block

Not quite sure which blank space you are referring to. The header padding?

For the second question, are you referring to the page content block with the title in it?

If so this CSS should help:

.home #page {
    display: none;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Yes. The padding around the logo section (header).

I downloaded and installed and activated the Simple CSS. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to open the CSS code on a page so I can modify.

Should be in Appearance > Simple CSS

Yes. I see that. BUt how do I load the page into see the code and change it?

I'm not sure what you mean?

Simply copy and paste the code I provided above in the editor should work.

Ah. I was trying to load the page code into the editor to make the change.

I used a much different CMS in the past, and this theme has been updated significantly since I purchased 3 years ago.

Thanks for the help

No problem :)
