   I'd like to add an intro paragraph to my homepage that is static above my posts. Right now, I do this by making a post sticky, but I don't like that the date / tweet box shows on the right, which can make the blog look stale if I don't keep editing the publish date. Can you suggest a better way to add some static content without the box? The site is http://rufftoyreviews.com.
   Thanks!

   Hey,
   it's not a better solution (because styling work, etc. will be required) but you can hardcode your text in index.php. Another option is to hide the tweet box/date - in index.php replace:
   

   <div class="date_container">
      				<span class='day'><?php the_time('d') ?></span>
      				<span class='month'><?php the_time('M') ?></span>
      				<span class='year'><?php the_time('Y') ?></span>
      				<?php if($k_option['single']['acc_tw'] != '') { ?>
      				<div class="tweetmeme">
   					<script type="text/javascript">
   						tweetmeme_source = '<?php echo $k_option['single']['acc_tw']; ?>';
   						tweetmeme_url = '<?php echo get_permalink() ?>';
    					</script>
   					<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>
   				</div>
   				<?php } ?>
      				<span class='date_container_bottom'></span>
   			</div><!-- end date -->

   with:
   

   <?php if (!is_sticky()){ ?>
   <div class="date_container">
      				<span class='day'><?php the_time('d') ?></span>
      				<span class='month'><?php the_time('M') ?></span>
      				<span class='year'><?php the_time('Y') ?></span>
      				<?php if($k_option['single']['acc_tw'] != '') { ?>
      				<div class="tweetmeme">
   					<script type="text/javascript">
   						tweetmeme_source = '<?php echo $k_option['single']['acc_tw']; ?>';
   						tweetmeme_url = '<?php echo get_permalink() ?>';
    					</script>
   					<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>
   				</div>
   				<?php } ?>
      				<span class='date_container_bottom'></span>
   			</div><!-- end date -->
   <?php } ?>

   Thanks for your help. I added it to index.php and styled it...Much better now. I tried adding the styles to custom.css, but it didn't take. Do you have instructions somewhere for getting custom styles to work? Right now, I have it in the styles.css file, but would like to keep the core code clean for upgrades. Thanks so much for your help. -Janet

   Hey,
   usually adding !important after every element works, i.e.
   

   .buy {
        float: right !important;
        padding: 10px !important;
   }

   Hope it works, let me know =]

   Ha! I just assumed I hadn't set it up right... never thought to give the !important a try... will check that out. Thanks.
