If you're just trying to replace the logo, click on Themes->Configure (to the right of your theme) and click Browse next to logo. You can also create a block on that theme and add it to the header region for a lot more control.

Dom, Am I correct that you can't place the block above the content? I would like to place a block for my live chat on every page, but I want it at the top so they see it first, then my content. Would I have to make a panel?

Hi Michael,

It's usually not best to put repetitive items across the top of the content area, as customers would be less likely to actually read the content if they see it's the same at the top of every page. The better place to put the block with the live chat would be at the top of the left or right sidebars. This won't distract from the actual content of each page, but still keep the live chat within the customers view.

This may be true, but I am out of room on my sidebars where the client would see it easily. So, is there a way to put it above the content?

A few of the themes have blocks above the content but most don't as it didn't make sense originally. I have seen a growing need and have been adding them in the new themes. On older themes you would need to add it directly to the page.

Does Theme 26 have a "footer" block? If so, why can I not see mine? When I am on the block page...the footer area is not highlighted in yellow. I would like to place something in the footer but can not seem to have it take hold. I have seen other theme 26 websites with items in the footer. Thanks!

make sure that the footer block is chosen to show in the footer and see if that helps. I can see your footer.

BTW-your site is looking pretty good. But, I would change the content. Most guys use that same content, try to stick to why they should hire you.

Thanks Michael. I will work on changing my content. I can see my footer and footer information as well. I'm trying to get that weather widget in the footer. (Currently the block I created for it is in the content area)  when I try and place it in the footer it does not show up.

I do not think you can put a block in the footer on that theme. Place it on the sidebar at the bottom.

Travis, I am gonna kick your arse!! Just kidding. Some of the links on your home page need to go. The links take the client OFF OF YOUR page, you do not want them to leave your page. Get rid of that inspector referral network; why would you place a link on your site that would allow your potential client to find your competitors?

I know I know. I meant to take it off tonight. What links take you off my page. I never want that and always change that option when adding links. Which one did I miss? I've seen it on theme 26 before. I think my footer is the problem.

I don't think the footer is the problem, I changed my theme to 26 and it didn't work on mine. You can try to put it in the footer through the site info., but I don't think you can copy the source code there. Anyway Dom will know for sure, but I think I am right that there is no footer block. What other site did you see it?

The links open a new page, my mistake, but never ever ever ever send you clients to a page where they can find other inspectors. The NACHI links take them to a site that has your competitors, The inspector referral network does the same. You can keep the image, just remove the links.
