 * I’ve been customizing my theme using the free version of pagelines platform for
   the past few days and I’ve found it to be extremely buggy.
 * I have the basic theme style that I want and I would like to transfer it to a
   wordpress framework.
 * The problem is I’ve got no idea on how to do this. Even though pagelines has 
   a lot of options that you can customize within the control panel I edited the
   code itself (just colors, not the actual functionality). Most of the code is 
   in one CSS file called theme.
 * My website is petermacsblog.com
 * I want my whole theme to go with the home page. I don’t like the sidebar with
   the pagelines theme because I couldn’t change the widgets. All I want in the 
   sidebar is a recent posts column and a recent comments column.
 * How do I go about transferring the CSS file into a wordpress framework?

 * Short answer – you can’t. The CSS has to be built to match the theme.

 * Alright, so I’m just gonna need a little help adjusting the theme a little more.
 * Here’s the problems that I need to take care of:
    1) When you view a post the
   text is black. I can’t find the code that I need to change and I’ve looked for
   a few hours.
 * 2) Also when viewing a post the phrases “One response to ______” and “Leave a
   Reply” are blacked out.
 * Once these settings are changed I’ll be done editing the theme!
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * No, if you click on the hello world post you will see that the post content is
   black (so you can’t see it) along with the other phrases mentioned above.
 * The home page is fine.

 * I was able to find it after all.
 * The font colors were next to a label called #page.
