1) How to I move the “additional text box” above the slider? I want readers to be able to read the site introduction first.

2) How can I add a side-bar to the homepage? Is this possible because it works fine for inner-pages but I can’t get one to show up on the homepage.

Hi Stefanie

As far as I am aware you can only add extra text after the slider before and /or after the columns.

A sidebar cannot be added to the presentation page, as I have seen people asking for the same thing and they have been told its not possible at the moment.

Sorry I can’t be more constructive but I hope this helps

Darn, I was hoping someone would have a hack. I’m new to all of this stuff. Thanks for the response though!!

Hi Stefanie

There are quite a few forum links to others raising the same question about a sidebar on the presentation page as it has been raised for Mantra, Parabola and Tempera. What is suggested in the link below is that perhaps use a slider plugin instead, which should then allow side bars and not use the set themes presentation page. As best a hack as I can find, the theme uses the Nivo slider.
