   I am a new (and very impressed) user of WordPress 2.8 and have successfully made minor changes to my Thematic blog using Child Themes (as explained in online documentation). The blog is here: http://www.winedarksea.com

   One difficulty remains: I would like to use two colors for the title of the blog, black for "Wine Dark," and the deeper red color for "Sea." So far I have not been able to figure out how to disentangle different parts of the Blog Title for separate treatment in the child CSS. Any suggestions?

   Many thanks,

   Michael Witmore

   What about adding a span element around, say, "Sea" so you can style it with CSS?

   Open the file header-extensions.php and search for the function "thematic_blogtitle". There you'll see a call to "bloginfo('name')". Replace the second one - i.e. the resulting text inside the a element - with the following code:

   echo str_replace('Sea', '<span class="sea">Sea</class>', get_bloginfo('name'));

   Once you've done that you can remove line 36 from your stylesheet - resets the color to black - and add the following new stanza to color the word "Sea":

   span.sea { color: #CC0000; }

   The correction:

   it should be

   echo str_replace('Sea', '<span class="sea">Sea</span>', get_bloginfo('name'));
