 * It might be easier if you just asked one question at a time.

 * i figured out the colors so i only have one question now, and its “the theme 
   is set to where when u make a post it only shows the first paragraph and if theres
   a pic it wont show it unless u click the read more link. i want my post to just
   be normal post so how do i change that.

 * You have 2 options:
 * 1. Edit the index.php template file in your theme and replace the_excerpt() with
   the_content(). Then edit each post and insert the <!–more–> tag where you want
   your posts’ excerpts/teasers to finish.
 * 2. Write a custom excerpt in the Excerpt field, under the post edit box. It can
   be as short, or as long, as you wish and can include images.
