Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Editing a Pre-Existing Theme … not turning out wellI’m still learning how to ajust themes to fit my website. So I am limited to what I have learned so far. I think what you need to do is put your background image you use for your existing pages into the ‘body’ section of your theme’s CSS only and make sure all the other div classes/id backgrounds are set to transparent. So that whatever sits on top of your page will show the page background. You have to think of it like layers of clear plastic film, each layer represents a section of your whole page, ie sidebar; footer, content etc.,
I hope this helps…it’s perhaps more complex to explain than do.
As for differing views in various browsers…well that’s an ongoing issue. It’s all to do with Web Standards. You may find this article helpful with regards CSS.

and some more interesting stuff here especially with regards Web Standards…

In reply to: Editing themeActually, having looked at the CSS for this theme, I think the only way round the problem is for you to asign a new class for the post title, since it seems to me the colour of the title is governed by the a: link and NOT by the color set for the h3 header.

In reply to: Editing themeI downloaded the GARDEN theme so I could read the index page as it was originally. The <styles> which I posted up top of this thread are in that index page.
If I were you I would try changing those three colours to something very vivid like RED, YELLOW, & BLUE, so that I could see if they were directly affecting the color scheme for the site.
I hope this helps?

In reply to: Why are my Archive posts all different type sizes!Well thanks for the help which was not forthcoming, I guess you are all too busy trying to fix your own sites! LOL
I found and fixed my ‘BUG’ it was a missing HTML tag </h3>
It’s those little things that can screw up the whole works!

In reply to: Editing themeLaPoetessa, I don’t see that code. Where did you find it.
I found it in the source code for your index page… I’ve added an extract below at the end of this post…
If you didn’t add the bit of code I posted earlier then it must be on the index.php of your theme…and it may or maynot have a direct baring on the problem you are having trying to change the colour of your text on your WordPress site.
By the way there are some good Text Editors out there which are FREE.

They look like they have been added on to the page. I thought they might be creating a conflict with the preamble text color?<div id=”preamble”>
<h3><span class=”style3″>
