I'm not sure where or how to ask this exactly, but I'm using branchandroot's Starflower and I noticed that the header is just my username and "recent" next to it. Is there a way to display my journal title and subtitle on the header for the main page instead?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm pretty new to DW's communities. Thanks for any help in advance.

Date: 2017-06-09 01:01 pm (UTC)Do you have a tutorial on how to use layering exactly? I tried putting in the S2 code and it produces an error in the bottom window. Granted, I'm probably doing it totally wrong since I'm such a newbie. I honestly had no idea about using layering on here. Sorry!
It's like Greek to me, but here's the error in case that's helpful:
Compile error: line 3, column 30: Unexpected token found. Expecting: [TokenPunct] = {
Got: [TokenPunct] = <
S2::Node, S2/Node.pm, 144
S2::NodeStmtBlock, S2/NodeStmtBlock.pm, 27
S2::NodeFunction, S2/NodeFunction.pm, 104
S2::Layer, S2/Layer.pm, 59
S2::Compiler, S2/Compiler.pm, 27
If it helps as a reference to my knowledge base, I have used CSS code on LJ by finding the code I need and sometimes making adjustments. It takes me a while as I'm not very advanced with it, however. S2 coding is totally new to me. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
Edit: I just looked at that error more carefully. It's trying to say that I needed to space it all out correctly because it copy/paste as a giant line of text instead of the proper code format. Goodness!
Now it actually looks like recognizable code! And the compiling worked as well. Now that I've applied it, however, all of the blue coloring to the original is gone and I don't know how to get that back. It turned everything white and black.
Edit 2: It switched my theme to Ivory Alcea after I applied the theme of the layer I made, but I was using Starflower. I reset it all back to the original with Starflower and I don't know where to go from there, unfortunately.

Date: 2017-06-09 03:00 pm (UTC)It sounds like you may have grabbed the source for the wrong theme layer - here's a complete layer to use, which I just tested really quick on my own journal. It should be listed in the theme chooser as 'Starflower (custom)' once you've saved it.

Date: 2017-06-11 03:14 pm (UTC)I've tried the layer and it's working with the theme I had now, but it says "Entries" after the subtitle and I'm not sure how to fix that. It did say "Recent Entries" at first and changing the style's text in customization to say "Entries" changed that too, if that helps at all.
I can't leave that blank because it's also my link! I understand that I have to re-customize all of my other changes, though. It's just this one thing.
Thank you so much again for the assistance, I could never do it myself without a lot of patience and a time-consuming education on this system. :)
Edit: Sorry, I just figured out that I don't especially need it since the title links back to the front page! I am just curious about a couple of things, though.
Is there a way to leave a recent entries link in the sidebar too? I'm just thinking about it for future reference in using this system.
And is there a way to change the title displayed on my browser tab as well? It just reads my username with a | after it now. I'm just wondering if that's something that can be tweaked, but it's not a big deal to me.
