• I’ve tried looking through the posts and I haven’t found one that answers my question. I’ve also surfed on-line for tutorials. I took the Connections Reloaded theme (one that I can use with WordPress 2.0), and modified the CSS. What I don’t know how to do is apply that to my site. Do I have to recreate a whole theme, or is there a way I can just deal with the CSS?

  • If you created entirely new definitions in your stylesheet, then you will need to make php calls for them in the appropriate place – like sidebar.php or header.php, etc.
    It would help if you gave more detail as to what you’re trying to do.

    I’m basically just trying to adjust the way the site looks. I made a new header image and changed the link colors and the box colors.

    If the changes are in the style.css file in your theme in your blog, you should see them.

    If you could point out an example of something you are trying to change, I think we could provide better help.

    a {
    color: #00009c;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:visited {
    color: #ff0618;
    }

    a:hover {
    color: #4a0189;
    text-decoration: underline;
    }

    input, textarea {
    background: #fde0ff;
    border: #e4c8ff 1px solid;

    Those are examples of the changes I made to the link color of the blog. I basically tweaked things like that throughout the stylesheet. I’m very new to this, so I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking me. Sorry.

    I wasn’t clear enough in my request for an example. I was really asking that you provide a like to the blog you’re trying to change, with an explanation of what you’re trying to change. We can look at the code and advise. CSS can be complicated stuff!

    For example. If you put the code above at the beginning of your style.css file, it will be changed by later code, and thus ignored. One possibility of many. Seeing a live example is the easiest way for us folks to diagnose a problem.

    Here’s a link to my site: http://www.heartfulls.com

    I used the CSS modifier plug-in in firefox to change the look and feel on a saved page. I changed the banner and the basic colors of the page to more of a pink/purple feel.
