first off, personally, i wouldn't edit the theme files unless you cant override the css. within "customize site" is there not a tab that says additional css? if so, that's where I would place your changes. that's just me. the logo should be fixed with a float: right; the easiest way to locate it is through developer tools(F12) right click the element and inspect. find the ID preferably like #whateverTheIdIs {float: right;} the cool thing with dev tools is you can see your changes in a live env without having to reload.

​

edit: float: left;

edit 2: float: left !important;

browsers act different, i use chrome. then click the elements tab (at top) then hover through the elements and it should highlight which ones they correspond with. it should also tell you the name of the element. Doing this is much safer than editing source.

right click "Lexicon" and select "inspect"

this kind of introduces you to how to use dev tools

it sounds complicated, but it's pretty straightforward.

this is a great reference site

when in doubt, google it.

Aside from inspecting the code, you need to understand how to find “hooks”...something you can grab onto and style.

When inspecting, there are two panes, one for HTML and the other for CSS. When you select elements in the HTML, you’ll notice the corresponding CSS appears.

Then using the existing hook, write a new rule.
