   The fact that I actually managed to install the script is a miracle unto itself, but it has been strictly downhill from there. I have a few tufts of hair left on my head from tearing it all out. I am not a laid back kinda person, I know. :)

   My blog is here:
   http://www.colorbakery.com/blog

   My problems:
   1. I had white text appearing on top of my header graphic, and the only way I was able to remove it was to remove my blog title. That's not good for the search engines, that's for sure. Further, I do not know how to incorporate meta tags and search phrases--especially in the browser window. Is there a way to put search phrases in the tip top browser bar?

   2. The gray lurking behind the footer is annoying the heck out of me. How do I make it white? Out of the ninety thousand pages of code, I cannot find it.

   I think I might be able to figure out the font colors and stuff, but these two things are driving me mad. It took about three hours to get the header to work; I had to use an absolute path after figuring out where the code was. *sigh*

   Thank you so much in advance. :)

   all you do to "get that" info is hover over it in IE, right click, and go to "properties". Its even simpler in FF.

   so you have the filename, now go look for that in your stylesheet, and voila its right where it ought to be:

   #footer {
   	background: #eee url('images/kubrickfooter.jpg') no-repeat top;
   	border: none;
   	}

   delete that, since theres nothing else there thats not related, and its gone.

   Further, I do not know how to incorporate meta tags

   Use a SEO or meta tag plugin.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Finding_Your_CSS_Styles <--- links are not provided here to be eyesores

   in the same place I pointed to you before -- your theme's stylesheet.

   Whooami, no need to get snide, okay? I clicked on the link, and I read about ways to find certain code. Obviously, I wasn't successful. If helping others is so painful to you, I'd rather be ignored.

   you dont know me very well if you think that was snide, trust me. Dont slap the hand that feeds you. You were doing better with "you guys are wonderful".

   Obviously, I wasn't successful.

   Explain what you did, and where the trouble came up.

   Inevitably, you will need to know how your theme and the style are tied together, unless, of course, youre comfortable asking question after question and waiting for what could be days for someone to come along and answer you.
