Thank you for your help.

Let me start by stating that I am not a web designer so I cannot give any specific tips concerning your code; however, I can tell you that there is a page in our custom template cookbook which outlines how to set up your minicart feature so that it will only say the subtotal and how many items are in your shopping cart. Please see the URL below:
