Hi there,

I’ve been working on my site and have tried to find a solution, but can’t figure it out. I’ve also searched the forums but can’t seem to find answers to these three questions. I confess – I’m brand new to wp.org but I have gone through all the tutorials. Just learning the ropes.

(1) My primary menu bar at top has a white background where the menu items are. The rest of the background is my site’s color. I tried to choose transparent in the both site header and home slider, but I can’t seem to make any changes. I have looked all over to try to get rid of the big white block. You can see it here: http://www.wetapestry.com. It is also showing up on my other pages.

(2) If you look at my about page, you will see the layout is very strange. When I switched from free to premium, I lost my margins and the photo seemed to grow. I know I can shrink my photo, but what about the margins?

(3) My site loads very awkwardly and not at one time. I didn’t have this problem in the free version. Do I need to get rid of some things on the back end of WP to change this, contact my host (Bluehost ) to resolve the issue, or is it something that can be resolved in the theme itself?

Appreciate your patience with this learner. Thank you for any help you can provide!
