   Hello there. I found the perfect theme for my site. The Maamo wordpress theme. However...I'm having a couple of problems. The biggest problem is that I can't replace the theme's default name with my blog title and tag line. I've gone into settings and done what I'm supposed to do there...but still no change. Also, this theme has several color schemes to choose from...but no matter which one I choose...the footer still remains orange. Can someone please help me??

   Did you follow the customization steps on the theme's home page? Especially the part about the logo and description!

   No...I'm afraid I didn't follow those steps. Even now when I locate the site-name.psd I have no idea how to edit it. I've downloaded Gimp. Should this allow me to edit it? Could you please advise further? I'm so not a tech person...but I'm trying.

   I am not a Gimp user, so I can't give specific advice. Here is a link to the Gimp documentation in case you don't have it already.

   And here is a link on editing text layers in Gimp.

   Thank you for trying to help me. I went into my Godaddy hosting account to file management and took a look at the site-name.psd. I didn't change anything. But when I went back to my website the name Maamo had disappeared. I have no idea what I did to make that happen. I know this is bold. But I'm desparate and my brain is cramping. You seem very knowledgeable and competent in this area. Could you fix this problem for me?

   Please take a look at my site. JolieMe.com...

   OK - the previous reply should take care of the header. Now, for the footer, in color.css, line 63, change this:
   

   div#footer-content {
   background:url("../images/border-footer-content.gif") repeat-x scroll center top #D66018;
   }

   to this:
   

   div#footer-content {
   background-color: green;
   }

   Replace green with whatever coloe you want.
