So, I’ve installed the CUSTOM POST TEMPLATE plugin:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-template/

And have got it to work… I’ve created a custom .php file that is a copy of my current single.php file, and am able to see both in a drop-down menu when writing a post.

Here is where I need help. Within my stylesheet, I’m able to find every item I want to be a different color within the custom post template by searching for its’ HEX number. I assume that I need to duplicate all of these items and change the HEX number to the new desired color, and then re-name them somehow, and then call for the re-named versions within my custom template .php file.

My question is, with a particular element, say, for example:

a:link,
.art-post li a:link
{
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
color: #7B197B;
}

I want to change that color to something else… do I simply copy and paste this and change the number? What element do I need to rename so that it is seen as a separate entity that I can call for in the .php? What do I need to change in the .php to call the new stylesheet entity? there is no “.art-post li” in the .php template.

Please help! I feel like I’m close!

Thanks for the quick response, the site is below:

As of now, the post contains a mixture of red and blue links, as evident. I already described above what I want, so I won’t repeat that again and bore you.

Could you explain a bit more about marking the color of the post?

Also, allow me to clarify, I do own and have administrator access to all of these blog pages. I’m just wondering if there is a setting or a plugin that would allow the operation I described as, ultimately, I believe it will be easier on everyone if there is a central site they can log into (the corporate site) to make their posts, and then allow back end operations to sort posts out onto respective company websites.

These forums have always helped a great deal in the past so, again, many thanks for any assistance!

Ok, so small update:

I finally got around to reading the information on Kimili’s website and apparently I need to somehow use a media converter to make my .flv run in a .swf – could someone just walk me through that process?

Small Update…

So I found the ‘Sliding Panel’ plugin, which is close to what I want… that adds a panel button to the very top of the page that allows you to put whatever you want inside.

Can anyone think of any plugin that adds the button to the actual blogroll? Again, the green button just beneath the header on the right side of http://www.newsvine.com is exactly what I am talking about.

Thanks!

Hi – thanks for the response.

You wouldn’t happen to know how to hack it, would you? I believe that I’ve found the correct file (archive.php) and I think I’ve even figured out the section I need to void – should I just delete that section? I tried using /* */ tags to no avail.

Again, thanks for helping.
