Homepage Question

Hi there I have been testing out the free version of your theme with a view to upgrading. A couple of questions arise with regards my site https://anitanarayan.com on which I have installed parallax frame 1) With reference to the Welcome section above the fold [book image opposite], the same text appears to repeat in the promotional section further down. How do I remove this as I do not wish it to repeat? 2) In the book excerpts section on the homepage, where it says 'read more', when I click on that it opens up into a page that continues to display the background image throughout. How do I change it to a plain white page so that the text shows clearly? 3)The book excerpts section only allows you to pull pages as opposed to posts so I had to write my excerpts as pages. Is there a way to pull posts? kind rgds Anita
