Today I am going to add some new features to the HomePage themes. It is a long process and many files have to be changed but it needs to be done. I will add 4 new variables that allow for styling the index page footer area with either a background image or a gradient/solid color. Right now, the option exists if the admin wants to add content in the footer area. But, this new feature will apply to the copyright area.

I'm moving the "Valley News" and will start using these snippets to record the daily events. They will be aligned by date.
