    I am using Greyzed theme and need to know HOW TO:

    1) How can I move the sidebar up about an inch?

    2) How do I change the font color on my Notify Me dialog on my comment boxes?

    3) How do I change the font color/size of my thumbnails captions

    4) How do I add an BACK TO HOME Link at the bottom of my Blog/posts page?

    You can do all but 4 in the stylesheet.css.

    These are all just "best guesses" but give them a try. Make a backup first of course.

    In your style sheet...

    1) Change this:

    /*-------------------------------
    START sidebar structure
    -------------------------------*/

    #sidebar
    {
    padding: 75px 0 10px 28px;
    background: url('images/sidebar-bg.jpg') top no-repeat;
    float: left;
    width: 275px;
    min-height: 613px;

    }

    To this:

    /*-------------------------------
    START sidebar structure
    -------------------------------*/

    #sidebar
    {
    padding: 15px 0 10px 28px;
    background: url('images/sidebar-bg.jpg') top no-repeat;
    float: left;
    width: 275px;
    min-height: 613px;

    }

    2) Try adding this to the very bottom of your style sheet:

    #respond label { color: #000;}

    That should make the label black. Substitute the color of your choice.

    3) add this to the bottom of your style sheet:

    .ngg-album-desc, a:hover { color: #000; }

    That should turn the photo album links and link hover color to black. Substitute the color of your choice, and you can play with the link hover colors to get the effect of your choice.

    4) do you mean back to top? or a link to your home page?

    Thank you so much for getting back to me...

    1) That worked. I tested even making the px number lower, but it must maxed out. 15px brought high enough. Another 1/8 inch is just being nit picky on my part.

    2) This worked perfectly. If I wanted to adjust the font size would I just need to add a similar line at the end of the style CSS?

    #respond label { font: xxxx;}

    3) This worked on changing the font color, but if you go to the page you can tell something is not right. The font itself needs to be changed, or shrunk, or maybe it's on bold and needs to be normal. How do I do that?

    4) Actually I meant back to home... but, now that you mention how would I do "Back to Top" or "Back to Home"?

    Ok, figured out 2 and 3 after you put me on the right road. So you can consider those "resolved". Also, google searching css fonts also helped. ;-)

    In reference to 2) Comment Box Font Styles -

    Is there anyway to isolate which words are affected by changes. I have the "Notify Me..." font perfect but it has affected Name and E-mail fonts.

    Also if you look on the page you can see "Subscribe without commenting" I want to make this black and in small caps, but I can't find the style ref in the Plug In or Theme editor.

    Try replacing all of this:

    #respond label { color: #000;}
    #respond label { font-family: serif; }
    #respond label { font-size: 17px; }
    #respond label { font-weight: bolder; }
    #respond label { font-variant: small-caps; }

    with this:

    .subscribe-to-comments{
    font-family: serif;
    font-size: 17px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    color: #000;
    }

    and you can also replace all of this:

    .ngg-album-desc { color: #000; }
    .ngg-album-desc { font-family: sans-serif; }
    .ngg-album-desc { font-style: italic; }
    .ngg-album-desc { font-size: 13px; }
    .ngg-album-desc { font-weight: 100; }
    .ngg-album-desc { font-weight: normal; }

    with this:

    .ngg-album-desc {
    font-family: sans-serif;
    font-style: italic;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #000;
    }

    I think that might straighten it out.

    [edit] I don't see the "subscribe without commenting part"

    After some trial and error the comment box is perfect for the Topics page, i.e. my Blog/Posts Page. But, if you go to the Photo Gallery Page (http://www.txtwars.net/?page_id=271) the Name Box and the Notify Me are tabbed in for some reason. Do you know what that might be?

    As for the "Subscribe without commenting"... I had to remove it because it was too confusing where it was sitting. Ultimately, I need to put it beneath the Comment Form, but the precoded font is white so it blends in to the page, so I need to know how to tweak that specific font style.

    This is what is causing it;

    .entry form { /* This is mainly for password protected posts, makes them look better. */
    text-align:center;
    }

    So what should I change it to?

    .entry form { /* This is mainly for password protected posts, makes them look better. */
    text-align:left;
    }

    I think that will do it.

    ClaytonJames, you rock my rock my world. Your last solution solved it and thank you for all the rest of your help. I was able to do a lot. Thank you.

    I'm gonna call this issue resolved and repost my Back To Top, Back to Home Question as its own thing.
