Tip: if you want a larger logo in your header
Our theme wants to set your logo to 480x60 pixels, if you want a larger logo area do the following:
- Make sure your image is landscape oriented
- In a photo editing tool like Photoshop, resize your image to have a width of 480 pixels (don't worry about the height) and save for web as web file format (.gif, jpg or .png)
- From the Customize menu add your header
- When asked to Crop choose Skip Cropping (note: if you don't see the "Skip Cropping" button it means your image was not properly cropped to 480px before uploading)
Sidebars (Widgets)
Sidebar content in WordPress is controlled via "Widgets". Often times if you don't anything to your side bar a default set of "widgets" will appear. You can change this by adding your own widgets.
- Widgets - add additional features to your sidebar
- Update the Instagram Gallery to display your group's Instagram Feed. See Terroir - Easy Instagram Plugin
