Below are instructions of customizing the Header and creating an Archives page.

HEADER
In the header.php, you can put your blog description or feature artical between <div class=”about”> and </div>, so that they will always be listed first on every pages.

Replace examples with your links on the top menu.
By default, links of all the pages created will be shown on the top menu.
To disable this function, find the code in the header.php and remove it
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

ARCHIVES
In order to de-clutter the sidebar, I removed the Archive links from the sidebar.
Instead, there is an Archives template in the theme folder called archives.php.

Follow the instructions below, you’ll easily create an Archive links listing page.

1. Write a new page and name it “Archives”.
2. Choose “Archives Page” from the Page template.
   
3. Publish the page.
   
4. Customizing your Archives page (archives.php) if you like.
5. Done.

You can click the screenshot below to see what the default archives page look like. Feel free to make any customizations.

If you still want the Archives links listing on the sidebar, you can simply add the code below to the sidebar.php.

<li><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
