 * I’m a newbie, just installed WP last night and been playing with themes.
 * On the dashboard, there aren’t choices for fonts and colors. Can the CSS file
   be edited in dreamweaver to customize those? What file would I need to edit?
 * Also can a blog be set up so that an email is sent when a response is posted 
   to the blog by the administrator?
 * Thanks,
 * Reid

 * [One question per post, please.]
 * Yes, I do all my CSS edits in Dreamweaver. Your theme has a style.css file. The
   path to the theme file, if you’ve got any questions, will show in the Manage 
   Themes administrative subpanel.
 * You may want to take care if you plan to update the theme, and if you’re using
   a theme that has an extensive system in the WordPress admin to change style characteristics,
   your mileage may vary. But for simple themes, style.css is where most things 
   are set.
 * ———-
    As for your second question — o Do you want the e-mail sent to the administrator?
   all subscribers? o By “response” do you mean “post” or “comment” or both? o Do
   you mean “posted by administrator” only? or posted by anyone?
 * Maybe you could make the clarifications in a new post with a more appropriate
   title.
 * Thanks and I hope you get comfortable with WordPress and grow to like it!
