WordPress.com bloggeres pay for CSS Upgrades and all CSS editing is theme specific. Many themes here are adapted to run on this software.

Thank you for understanding my concerns. Given how many unanswered WordPress.com support questions there are http://en.forums.wordpress.com/view/no-replies and the number of unanswered CSS Forum thread there are http://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization it's my opinion that the last thing we need is more WordPress.org bloggers posting for CSS editing help here.

Timethief - thanks for your posts. The user had already been made aware that there was a separate forum for self hosted users twice in this thread. Additionally, the actual issue was not specific or relevant to hosting in any way. It was something that any user of WordPress could have experienced. Therefore, in this instance, I do not see any harm in the advice I offered.

I view this forum is a friendly, supportive environment for all lovers of WordPress. However, I understand your concerns and will take them on board for the future.

We already have 30% of those posting here who do not even belong here. Do NOT encourage them to return to the wrong support forum again.

Go to WordPress.ORG support forums and volunteer there please if that's your thing.

The opacity property will work with most modern browsers. However, to make sure the background appears semi-transparent to users of older versions of Internet Explorer, I recommend that you add the following two extra lines of code (appearing below in bold):

#container {<br /> padding-bottom: 20px;<br /> background: #222;<br /> box-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;<br /> opacity: 0.8;<br /> <strong>zoom: 1;<br /> filter: alpha(opacity=50);</strong><br />

These two extra lines should ensure complete cross-browser compatibility for your site. :)

My site is DestinyMultiplayer.com

It is a gray-ish color right now, I would like it to be semi-transparent so I can kind of see the background but still read the text written.

I need baby-steps for instructions, I am very new, but learn fast,

I'm using WordPress 2012 theme, thanks so much for the help.

The blog I need help with is http://figline365.wordpress.com

If any mod could close this it would be awesome :)

I would like to edit the theme TwentyTwelve on a few things:
1- Put a logo next to the written title;
2- Add the "author" item in the articles;
3- Remove the "Website" field from the comments.

Even though my knowledge of html and php is minimal, I managed to do these things on my own on some themes, but I've been told it's better to use this so called "child theme" to edit the themes, so that when these get updated, I won't lose any change I made.

So reading around the Internet, I haven't been able to fully understand how to use this child theme. I only managed to create a theme with the same CSS file of twentytwelve.

What I need to know is how to add changes to the main theme using the child theme (a practical example with one of the issues above would be awesome) and also how to add the logo manteining the responsiveness.

I've not got a blog online yet, I'm working on this theme locally.

I tried to be as much clear as possible, hopefully you can understand my english.

Here are some screenshots to explain better what I'm looking for:

Website

If I understand you correctly, you want your "Blog" page to be full width, while keeping widgets on your other pages? I'm afraid the only way to accomplish this is to hide the sidebar from your "Blog" page with Custom CSS, available through the Custom Design upgrade.

For example, the following CSS should do the trick (it hides the sidebar and adjusts the main column width accordingly):

body.blog #secondary {
      display: none;
}
body.blog .site-content {
     float: none;
     width: 100%;
}

I'm sorry that it took us so long to respond to your question.

To make the plog posts page full-width, just remove all widgets from the Main Sidebar, the content width will adjust automatically.

Best Regards...
