Hey guys! So, I am transitioning my backpacking site from the free Pinnacle theme to the Premium Ascend theme. I really like the Wanderlust template and would like to set my site up with it, but with a couple minor adjustments. I got into it last night and started tinkering, here are the current results:www.clearwatertrekker.com.

The adjustments I’m trying to make involve the row separators and transparent header for now. I hope you’re ok with a few questions in one post rather than separate forum posts for each item. Here goes.

1) How can I make the header slightly transparent after scrolling, like it appears here: *Login to see link Or maybe that’s not transparent, just not stark white…?

2) How can I add a row separator to the bottom of the Home Page Header? I’d like to place the center double triangle here.

3) If I am to build the home page with Site Builder, what do I do with the Home Page Header and Home Page Layout options in Theme Options? Do I just do everything in Site Builder? If so, do you have detailed instructions on how to recreate the various settings using Site Builder instead of Theme Options?

4) I have been looking through the Ascend documentation for this last question, but I cannot find much more than references to topics like row separators. What I mean is, I watched the video on row separators, so I see how to apply them, but I need to know how to set up my page rows before I can add the separators. I don’t know what settings and/or widgets I’ll need to use in Site Builder to recreate the Wanderlust layout. Where would I put my calendar of events? In a home page widget area?

5) Would I do better to try and work in Site Builder from where I am now? Or should I start over with the Demo Content and try to plug in my images, text, and changes from there?

6) I really like the idea of using videos in my home page header. Can I do this and still use a row separator at the bottom of it?

7) How do I get the text to appear in my header like it does on the wanderlust example page: *Login to see link

8) How do I get the text to be centered vertically in the Image Menu items like it does on your example template?

This is where I am at this point. I appreciate your help!
