   Hi,

   I would like to change the color of the surrounding sides of my theme from grey to another color. Is it a simple matter of locating the color code on the style sheet and changing it. I'm no expert on CSS so I dare not to mess around with it!

   The blog is http://www.scanarama.ie

   Thanks

   Scanarama,

   Here is the CSS you'll want to find:
   

   #sidebar_content {
   	background: #539ff3;
   	padding: 2px 10px;
   	border-left: 3px solid #d5e8ff;
   }
   
   #sidebar_header {
   	background: url(images/sidebar_header_bg.jpg) top no-repeat;
   	padding-top: 12px;
   }
   
   #sidebar_footer {
   	background: url(images/sidebar_footer_bg.jpg) top no-repeat;
   	padding-top: 12px;
   }

   You'll notice that the programmer used images for the top and bottom of the sidebar to achieve the rounded corner effect. You'll need to change those images to reflect your new color as well in #sidebar_content you'll need to change the background and border colors.

   Hope this helps!

   Thats great joe, thanks for your help.

   At the moment I have just my logo in my header. In the wordpress general settings I have just a small * as my blog title which I covered with a cloud in my logo. However on top of the screen in the internet explorer tab it just has *, and I want it to say Scanarama without interfering with my logo. Is this possible?

   Thanks
