• I need help changing the CSS of my theme on my website http://www.thehealthyhostess.com Here is the style sheet that I have been working with and changing. Can someone please help me change the small borders that are pink on my sidebars of my site? I have tried messing with a lot of the codes and can’t figure out how to change the background of the sidebar items from pink to white or no color. Please help!!

  • It’s a background image, located here:

    .side1 h2, .side2 h2 {
      background:transparent url(images/bg/bg-g-h2.gif) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
    <snip>
    }

    Remove that line.

    Can you tell me how to change the main color of my header – I would like it to be a softer green not the bright kelly green. What line of the CSS is related to this major color?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    The header color is actually a gradient image

    You will need to make a new image or edit the existing one and re-upload it.

    This is the css for it:

    #top (line 102)
    {
    background-color: #006400;
    background-image: url(images/bg/bg-g-top.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-position: 0pt 100%;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    }

    and the image is here: http://thehealthyhostess.com/wp-content/themes/ayumi/images/bg/bg-g-top.gif

    it is only 1 pixel wide and is repeated acrss the width of the header.

    (alternatively you could just remove the line of css for the gradient image and set a solid color of your choice)
