I used a basic theme for my page and the child theme. In order to customize it I first downloaded Web Developer which is freeware. You can use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to access the information of the div to change colors, sizes etc. Remember what those are or write them down. Then go to appearance underneath Dashboard to write in the code. The code is very similar to Dream Weaver. To change color put in the name of the div tag #blog-description. Then a whale tail so we call them in class {. The color you want followed by a semi colon color:#555b57;. Finish it off with a whale tail }. If you want to change the size do the same thing but instead of color put in something like this instead. width:1020px;height:200px; etc.
