Home page error and slideshow issue

Using the Free Catch box theme. Really nice! http://compasstaxhelp.com/ 1 - This message appears on the home page with a search box:

Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

2 - I would like to have a couple paragraphs of text below the slideshow on the home page (as opposed to the above error message) and cannot figure this out!! 3 - Possible to change the size of text on slideshow or add some CSS? 4 - Also Slideshow seems to jump...not smooth. Don't know why. ASAP would be swell!! Thanks so much!!
