I don't know how, but I dun did it!


After three days of fiddling and faddling, I successfully changed the theme of this blog and got all the widgets and gadgets and thingamagigies and whatchamacallits all in the right place!  Are you aware of the magnitude of what you just read?  LOL For three days I pestered my web designer and several of my friends from my Monday Master Mind group.  This little techie trouble maker was finally able to converse with her blog in his own language and get him to do what she wanted.  REALLY!  Go figure!  :D What do you all think of the new blog?  How'd I do? From JoJo’s Purple Crayon Learning Speech Communication Skills can ALSO be fun with Art of Eloquence!

    Hey there! It looks great. :-)

    I didn’t realize you were of Jewish descent… I am Polish and Romanian — what is your heritage? We’ve both had funny lives, eh? My hubby was raised Catholic, too. I was adopted at birth, so I wasn’t even raised in a Jewish home — which made it easier (MUCH) to accept Yeshua as my Lord and Savior as a teen at Eastern Michigan University in 1982.

    Amway also figured into my early life — it served as the catalyst for my adoptive mother and step-father to QUIT going to church and start going to Amway Sunday morning meetings instead. Not that they were good examples to me to begin with!

    Anyway - blog looks great. Good work! :)

    Love,
    Heather

    The text within the editor and the text that is “drawn” upon the page are actually very different. The text on the page relies on style-sheets in order to display unless you explicitly override the color and style within the editor.

    The text on the page is subject to this file:
    /blog/wp-content/themes/lavender-dream/style.css
    The offending lines are #’s 17, 91, 99, 136, 144, 187, 236, and so on. Look for “color:” where the first, third and fifth characters of the value are very close to each other. For #544762, for example, “5”, “4” and “6” are all very similar, so you get a grayish color in the resulting display. These colors are used on top of the images from:
    /blog/wp-content/themes/lavender-dream/images/
    …and many of those images use very similar colors in them.

    I am in no way trying to diminish your accomplishment – seriously, for anyone whose life isn’t first and foremost design, this is a significant accomplishment – well done. I am simply trying to provide constructive advice.

    Thanks Ladies! I can’t change anything about the template. I am seeing the text as black and not grey so I’m not sure there. The HTML Editor doesn’t have a place to change the text color on the posts either. Or at least I don’t see it.
