Yes, I did fix it. The problem was the wiki/tutorial sent me to the wrong file to change. Anyway, I have since updated the "header_sales_text" as well, although I would like for it to be in initial caps the way I typed it so I need to figure out how to change that too.
Line 52 stylesheet.css remove the red
#tagline {
color: #B5B5B5;
font-size: 1.65em;
margin-bottom: 25px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: left;
text-transform: lowercase;
vertical-align: bottom;
}

I am also trying to figure out where to delete the "New Featured Specials" table off the home page.
You can set them in
Iadmin > configuration > index listing
