   I'm sorry, I am a complete noob. I have everything the way I want it, but I would like to change all the little blue "bubbles" on the Redbel theme to a different color. Probably black. Where in the editor do I do this? Thank you so much!

   the tiny bubble, for instance in the lists in the sidebar, is in /images/puce.gif

   you would need to use a image editor, such as the free gimp, to edit the image, change it to a different color, and re-upload it to the same location (i.e. to the /images folder of your theme)

   Thanks for the help so far. I used Photoshop to change the color of the files on in the theme folder on my desktop. When you say reupload them to the /images folder of my theme, do you mean on WordPress? I don't know how to get to that folder. Do I have to zip up the theme files on my desktop and reinstall the theme? Thanks.

   the image is in the location:
   (the url depends on your site url and where you installed wordpress, but the bold part should be right)

   I use HostGator for my hosting and I used their "File Manager" and replaced the old files with the new files with the new colors. However, the blog still looks the same. Sorry I have no idea what I'm doing here.

   you may need to relaod the page in the browser ('reload' button) or press 'ctrl f5' at the same time, to clear the browser cache, and to get the changes visible on the screen.

   Yeah, I've tried that. I basically went into my File Manager on Host Gator, went to the blog/wp-admin/images folder and uploaded the new files in place of the old files, and then closed the File Manager and checked the page. It still looks the same even after I clear the browsing history.

   blog/wp-admin/images = wrong folder

   (wp-admin folder is as the name says - for all things admin)

   has to be this folder:

   blog/wp-content/themes/redbel/images

   (that is the folder where you should find the original image)

   Finally! I knew it was something simple that I was screwing up. Thank you so much for your help! I'll get there some day!
