Now if you know HTML it is relatively easy to add a static paragraph or two to the top of your blog. I use that on one of mine - The Old Bald Guy. There I have a short intro of what to expect from the blog and a warning that when they see red it is my evil twin and he does not know what the word politically correct means. (I know - I try hard to stay ahead of the guys in the white coats. What can I say but I do enjoy the split personality of that blog.)
You do need to either ftp the page or have set your theme page permissions to 666 to edit within your dashboard.
***********WARNING************
Always take the time to make a back up before you start so that you can return everything back to the way it was if you make a mistake.
The main index template is the first page you need to edit. Depending on your theme you may also need to edit the single page template also. You will see the following code or something similar on your main idex template.
You will see the header include and then the code you want to find will be “div id=”content” enclosed in angle brackets < >.
Add your html there and make sure you have closed all tags. Save the page and then view your site. If all has gone well then you are done with the main template. If your theme uses a separate page for single posts you will need to redo it there also in the very same manner.
If per chance it totally messed things up then replace it with the back up that you made and if you are a member of Word Press Made Easy membership site pop in to the forum and leave the info on what your problem was.
