  2. I have a site hosted on WordPress.com. I made changes with the (at the time) existing CSS panel on the Goran theme. Then a few days later, I noticed some of my CSS changes were not showing. I went into the customize area, and everywhere else I could think of — I cannot find CSS controls anywhere. Did Goran update and remove this feature? Thanks.

  3. Never mind about my CSS question. Turns out the plans with WordPress.com changed and now CSS is allowed 1 tier higher. I was making changes with CSS at the free level — go figure. Then got a PAID plan and now — cannot make or keep the CSS edits I had before.

  4. I am using the Goran theme the way you have it layed out to start with using three images centered under the main banner image. However, when you use this layout, where can you put the search box?
