 * I’m new to wordpress and taking a class in it. I’ve been trying to customize 
   the colors. I’m using black as the color scheme and then trying to change header
   text colors, site name background colors, etc. It appears that maybe some colors
   won’t work with others although I’m not sure about this. I do get it to show 
   as I want and then click save and it looks good. I then close this and go to 
   my page and it has changed the header text color to white. I do not understand
   this. Thanks for any help.

 * Hey Boyan! How the hell are you? Long time no see and where are you now?
    Do 
   you remember the Coyote Mountains? Donna and I were planning on doing that hike
   tomorrow with some friends but I’ve been sick and it’s going to have to wait 
   a couple of weeks. Anyway, about this WordPress thing. Let me work with it a 
   few more days and see what I can come up with. I might even change themes. I’m
   looking for a good theme to display my photographs and do a little blogging about
   hiking. Custom CSS is way over my head right now, as I am just starting out with
   WP. So I’ll play around with it again over the next week and see what I can come
   up with. Thanks for offering, and I’ll let you know if you can be of some help
   in the future. Great to hear from you, and I hope you are well. Sincerely, Jeff
