Right, so I installed some other themes, poked around with it and this is the current result. Also removed some Facebook badges, but added some like buttons.
Am also starting to learn some new included functions such as the following one:
[toggle title_open="*sigh* Close Me" title_closed="Click Me" hide="yes" border="yes" style="default" excerpt_length="0" read_more_text="Read More" read_less_text="Read Less" include_excerpt_html="no"]You had to click didn’t you…[/toggle]
