Hello! I want to thank Dan Englander before I start for being so kind as to answer many of my newbie questions off-list.
I have done several WordPress sites and am learning Drupal for some special clients of mine. I've got a good overview, but there is one "hitch" I think must be a "no-brainer".
Each Basic Page has a title, and that title is displayed at the top of the page -- regardless of whether you want it as a menu item.
Surely there must be a quick way to format the style within the Title field (such as turn the font white -- a little cheat but workable for the non-expert), or elsewhere in Drupal's forms. Or perhaps it must be something in the CSS or a .php file. If so, I think I could do that with a little steering. I'll reference our working URL so commentators can see:

The client ideally wants a really minimalist look right now and likes everything except the word Collaborative.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours, Chris Ann Matteo

Some clarity into what it is the client does want would be of benefit. Are you looking to hide the title on the page? on any page when set as the front page?
Also of note the image used on the front page when viewed on a screen smaller than the size of that image trhows off the theme. Consider a responsive image or at least one that is smaller.

Yes -- believe me I have been trying to get these answers from the client for two weeks. (I am married to him.)
Yes, we are looking to hide the title just on that page -- this is the only page for the time being, until I can get him and his partner into a face-to-face meeting so we can move ahead developing more sections and features. They have NO CONTENT yet except that image and the basic contact information that I have arranged with the theme. They have a. no branding decisions about i. font, ii. logo/corporate image; b. content for mission statements, staff bios &c to come; c. plans but only one image for the potential slideshow/gallery. This one image is all there is.
re/responsive images: my Drupal for Dummies does not give any information about responsive images. Where to do I go to learn more about that? Is there a module to add on, or a setting somewhere from the Dashboard that I need to tweak? What image size do you recommend so that it does not throw off the theme?
Still learning, and I send my thanks, Chris Ann

Also, VM, does this Forum work where you all get "thanks" and eventually "badges" or some such? Just learning the ropes of the new community.

no.

responsive images should be googled. There are modules to aid yes. pictures.module is one method. -edit- could have been the verison of FF that I used as it looks fine in chrome.
CSS to hide to page title on front page
/* hide node title on front page*/.front h1.page-title {
display: none;
}
utilize the above in your themes custom .css file wherer your CSS overrides are kept or at the bottom of your style.css file if a custom theme.
Thank You
Dear VM: That small bit of code did the trick. I am going to invest some more time understanding what I can edit in style.css and other files. In the meantime, I thought I would mention that I followed this tutorial to learn more about responsive images: http://modulesunraveled.com/responsive-images/part-1-installation. I have not yet gotten all the way through it but it is helping me; I will still need to test what I have done.
Thank you for your help. We all appreciate it!
