HELP!

I know this is a color assault on your eyes, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the awful pink (seriously, ya'll have been looking at that WAY too long!!!) to white or black, or something to coordinate with the fabulous new background.

Anyone?

Send some HTML formatting tips my way....

Thanks!

You may have already tried this, but just in case...

Go to "Customize"
Click on the "Layout" tab
Select "Fonts & Colors"
There's one that says "Page Background Color" - click on a white box
Save changes

Hope that helps!

The thing is that page background color is already a white box... wierd, huh? I can't figure it out.

Thanks for trying to help! I think I have 'special' blog!

Haha...you are so fancy! I've never done a fancy background like that. There's probably an easier way, but you can change your background color in the html by changing locating something like this in your code:

#main {
padding-top: 22px;
padding-$endSide: 8px;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-$startSide: 8px;
background: #FB997E
$startSide top;

Change the "background" to the desired hex code such as #FB997E (look color hex codes on http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html). Since you've used templates, you might have a URL listed after "background" currently which you'll have to delete and put only the hex code.

Depending on what parts of your page are already formatted by your template, you may have to repeat this procedure for "#post" or ".post" in your code as well as "#sidebar." You can do them one by one to experiment and preview before saving any changes.

Don't give up on me.... Lisa doesn't know this yet, but she is going to fix it for me tomorrow. :)

Then, in a couple weeks, when Christmas is over, I will have her change it again. WOO HOO!!!

Lisa said...
