I’ve got Discourse set up, but I’m pretty new to this platform and am having some trouble figuring out how to situate the categories how I want them. I’m wanting to go for a look like the Gearbox forums. [http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/](http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/) Here’s an image in case no one wants to click the link:

I’ve got categories displaying on the front page in the order I want, and I know how to set up the images, but I just can’t figure out how to remove the category titles and move the category descriptions in it’s place. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
I did find [this topic here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-category-logo-image-hides-category-title-from-listings/17818), about someone complaining about the titles disappearing when using images but that functionality was removed.

You should probably fill out the category descriptions… It’s the topic that a button in the category edit dialog takes you to.

I already have category descriptions… either you misunderstood me or I’m missing something really simple related to category descriptions.
I made an image to show what I’m talking about.
The top image is what it currently looks like on my site. The bottom image is what I want, which is just like how the Gearbox forums have their categories set up.

Have you tried CSS? eg.
```plaintext
.category-name {
display: none;
}
```
\*test, I don’t know where else that class might be being used so you may need a more specific selector

With
```
span.category-name {
display: none;
}
```
It looks like this:
How would I move the description up to where the category title was? I could use JS to copy the description, hide the description and then paste it into the ‘span.category-name’ but I don’t think that’s the proper way to go about this :\

Ok, this took me way too long, but I figured it out. For anyone else that wants a similar setup I’m going to lay it out here. It’s really simple too.
Gearbox uses this:
```
.has-logo div:first-child {
float:left;
}
.has-logo h3 a {
font-size: 0;
}
.has-logo .category-description {
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
```

This has really helped me! The solution has worked, however, I don’t want this rule to apply to subcategories. I can’t seem to fathom the rule I need to allow these changes to take effect to the main categories but for them to ignore the subs.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank in advance!
