Thumbnails on Homepage

Hello,

I now have 7 projects listed on my website under the category Design Projects. When my website homepage loads, there aren't any thumbnails of the projects and it's a blank page. I want the original home page to look like it does when you click on Design Projects. My URL is rebeccafriedmandesign.com Also, is there a way for the project names to be listed without having the category Design Projects listed?

Looks like you have resolved this already...unpublishing and 'hide from index' section tops make them invisible. I realize it's a bit obscure but it works and it allows for nice options.

Yes I did get it! Another quick question, how do I add some text about myself right under my page title and before my projects are listed? Also, where can I change text color? Do I need to do it in the html somewhere? Where do I go to do that?

Admin > Theme > Pre Nav (textarea)

Oh perfect. Coding is still new to me so what part of the code do I replace with my text?

  1. <a href='/' title='{{obj_name}}'>{{obj_name}}</a>

Also, where can I play with the formatting of the website title and make it larger?

That is the current title at the upper left of your #index. You can change that but you don't really need to do that. Just change the obj_name variable to whatever you want...

Is there a way to keep my Rebecca Friedman Design title how it is (except it's no longer bold and I don't know what changed) and have some secondary text under it?

sure:

  1. <a href='/' title='Title that shows up on link hover here'><h1>Site title</h1> here</a>

and in your style.css

  1. #index a h1 { font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; }

Of course you can change the css styling to what you want...

Where do I do all of my css formatting? In the same box?

Hello.
You edit all your css from Admin->Assets->Theme, style.css
Don't forget to click the disk (save) icon once you're done.
Otherwise you can use your ftp application and do all your editing there.

hi, please can you explain how to put thumbnails in the home/landing page of all the projects? thanks!

This is not related to this thread so I'm gonna close this after answering:

To get linked thumbnails of your projects in your home page you need to have a section exhibit, with Visual Index set as the exhibition format and Section set as Media Source.
The first image of each of the exhibits that belong to the Section exhibit, will show up as a linked image/thumbnail.

This thread has been closed, thank you.
