   I'm trying out thematic child theming for the first time and I'm stuck with one item. I want to move the blog title to the bottom of the page. I basically just need the block of code that I need to move from one place to another. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

   Hi Craw,

   I'm new to this myself, and this is my first child theme I've ever made too!

   Looking at index.php, it calls get_header(), which gets header.php.
   header.php has header content (unsurprisingly). This includes an action hook called thematic_header(). The file that access that hook is in /libary/extensions/ called header-extensions.php.
   On line 426, we see the start of the functions that hook into the thematic_header hook.
   On line 441, you should find the comment //create the blog title.
   You should see inside an if statement, it checks to see if there is a function called "childtheme_override_blogtitle".
   If I understand correctly, you can add this function to your child themes functions.php file, and this prevent the blog title from displaying.

   You should find there is a similar function hook override for the footer area which you can use.

   Alternatively you can use css to hide the title by adding something like...
   

   #blog-title{
       display: none;
   }

   However I believe the correct way to do it is the first method, which I think is what you are after, including a better understanding of how the thematic framework works.

   I stress this is totally guess work by code inspection.

   Hope that helps.
