  I’m customizing Pilcrow and have run into a few snags:

  1. How to I change text color (Post titles and post content) ?
  2. How do I change the sidebar color to the same green as the background and make the sidebars extend to the bottom of the page?
  3.) How do I change the area around the header so it’s green like the background ?

  This is the blog I need help with:

  I want it to look like this, my old blog, which I’m reviving:

  Here’s the code to change the text colours (including the sidebar links):

  #wrapper .entry-title a {
    color:#f00;
  }
  
  body #wrapper {
    color:#00f;
  }
  
  #wrapper .widget ul a {
    color:#0f0;
  }

  The best way to set your background and borders is to modify your existing #wrapper code to the following instead:

  #content{
    background:#f5f5dc;
    border-style:double;
    border-width:5px;
    border-color:#502f0a;
    padding:10px;
  }
  
  #wrapper {
    background-color:#90AA6B;
  }
  
  #header img {
    border:none;
  }

  Thank you halluke, it worked !

  I love the way you chose different colors so I know what was modified too (I’ll come back and change them later when my eyes aren’t so buggy !)

  Great forum, thanks again !!
