First you are going to change the thumbnail size for the images on your website. In your Dashboard, find the Settings menu and select Media. By default the thumbnail size is 150pix wide by 150pix high.
Change the width and height to 250 pix and click Save.
From your Dashboard go to Pages/All Pages and find the Van’s Surfboards page than place your cursor over so you can see the menu that will drop down, and click on Edit.
By default your editor is set to visual. You can see in the top right corner of it, that you have the option text. If you click on it, the editor will turn into text mode, where you can only use code for modifying your page, since you are not going to use any code you want your editor to stay in visual mode.
For the front page we are going to add an image of your business and some introductional text. I would recommend that you type the text into a text file first than copy and paste it into the visual editor. When you are done bring your cursor all the way up at the front of your text, then click on the Add media button.
Use the steps that you already learned when you uploaded your logo and favicon. From your Media Library go to Upload Files, click SELECT FILES, find and select the image from your computer, change the title add Caption, Alt text and description, change the Size to medium and click on INSERT INTO POST button.
On the right of the editor, under “Page Attribute” for the option Template, default template is selected, which is the template that you already have selected in the Nirvana settings.
Select Two columns, Sidebar on the Left and click Update.
Now if you refresh your website you will see that the sidebar is on the left, and you have the image and the company description on your front page.
The next step is to insert a video in the Left Sidebar.
