In reply to: How to change the font and colour of the tagline of my site titleWhen I entered
#header a {
color: #6E2828; <– Change the color here
text-decoration: none;
}in the Advanced CSS box and saved it, what I got was that actual code as text written across top of text box on my site.
So, does this sound like I need to go with the “override” instructions you posted before? or something else?

In reply to: How to change the font and colour of the tagline of my site titleI am having same issue ie changing color of text in site title and tag line. When I followed above instructions and when I got to stylesheet style.css found this near top of css flow
“DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! The Weaver Theme has been designed so that editing style.css is no longer required!
If you need to make changes to the styles rules, add override CSS rules to the <HEAD> Section in the
Advanced Options tab of the Weaver admin panel.”Scrolling down on the Adv Options tab of Weaver admin panel I found this
Advanced CSS Options
Add CSS Rules to Weaver’s style rules
Some advanced developers prefer that their custom CSS rules be added to the weaver_style.css file rather than included in the <HEAD> Section above. Any CSS style rules here will be added at the end of the regular Weaver CSS rules. Do not add <style> and </style> here – just CSS. These rules will be saved with your theme .wvr file.Does this mean I can just write new code in the box below this that last bit of text and it will override automatically? Have they changed the set-up or do I still need to write “override” etc as was stated above (8 months ago, times change?)
Makes me nervous messing with this as I am an old geezer Luddite and have never done more than email and word processing before. Thank you!

In reply to: Do I need to hire someone?Thank you Lorelle. I think it is a problem of my ignorance vs the workings of the theme as well as the workings of WordPress. I will start w/ Weaver author and see how far that gets me.
Thanks again!

In reply to: Do I need to hire someone?Dhikra, thank you. Lack of photo altering software is I’m sure part of the problem. I will get gimp and see about learning to use that.
The other and bigger part is understanding how to change the formatting of the header so that it will show a close to square photo next to text that is on some sort of pale back ground. The only thing I have figured out is to upload a photo on the themes/header page and then whatever I load shows up as a long skinny rectangle at top of my site. If I load a “normal” photo of me, it will just show the top little bit of my head, stretched wide to fill the space. I have tried inserting a photo in a word.doc on my computer and putting text next to it, then uploading a screen shot of that but the resolution is crappy. I guess screen shots are very low res anyway and in addition, I lose a lot of clarity of the photo by inserting it into a word.doc

In reply to: Do I need to hire someone?I’m not sure if I understand your problem correctly
Yes, that’s my problem as well! Every time I try to figure out how to do something, I can’t even understand the language of the “help”. It seems the tech world left me behind years ago. I can’t tell for sure but it appears as though I need to go to school to learn a whole world of terminology and techniques to be able to do anything more than just post a new page or new post. If that is the case, then hopefully I can find someone who won’t charge an arm and a leg (wife may know someone in Denmark!) who will do the set up and give me basic instructions for carrying on…
Oh, I am on a MAC w/ much older OS 10.4.11. Getting set to upgrade to snow leopard soon as we can find/choose a new bookkeeping system to replace our Quicken which will not run on the upgraded OS once that is in place.
